We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America by Roxanna Asgarian

3.0

Dramatic deeper story behind the California SUV that was driven off a cliff with 6 adopted kids inside…no survivors, murder-suicide. The story alone is heartbreaking but Roxanna Asgarian takes an investigative approach and pulls a thread that is just as devastating: America’s foster care system. Valid look at corrupt government oversight and definitely reinforces that America runs in money…those poor kids, and birth parents and all kids in foster care. Asgarian has some ideas on how to improve it all, but it needs a complete overhaul and is a radical departure from the punitive judginess of the current system - which America may not be ready for
