Texas turned CPS into horror show and that wasn't an accident. They've been putting foster children in unlicensed facilities for years, including facilities out of state, on the other side of the US.

had to google this because holy hell

from US Congressman Colin Allred:

There are about 9,000 children in long-term custody of the state, and an average of 80 children per month were staying in unlicensed and unsafe housing last year. This includes poorly supervised motels rife with sex trafficking, leaving already vulnerable children exposed to abuse. In the past three years, there have been 2,100 serious incidents involving these children without placement, including death, abuse and neglect.
