From your anecdotal story, it sounds a whole lot more like personal responsibility was for more at play here. Maybe we actually need to be talking more about personal responsibility.
Yes I can trade an anecdotal story too but it won't fit Cubbies narrative.
My great aunts, uncles, and grandparents all raised foster kids. My mom has told me stories about several of the foster kids who came and went from her house when she was growing up. I know a few of the foster kids (now adults) because they are still around the area and one even comes to our family reunions. None of them wound up in jail for some reason and one is very successful with multiple rental properties.
Cubbies won't highlight stories of the tons of kids who make it through the foster system and end up having a perfectly normal adult life because it doesn't fulfill her middle-aged white woman saviour complex.

What does “support” mean? Classes on how to be a functioning adult? The government can’t create loving homes.

What would happen to orphans?
Give one to every Karen that pretends to care.

No shite, sounds like child neglect. Does a father need instructions from the state on how to take care of his baby? Even animals do that.

Simple solution is to let churches and Christian households back into the system of helping the vulnerable.
They've been boxed out for their faith- and either have to conform to hedonistic standards in order to be a provider or they stop providing services because they won't renounce their beliefs.
This goes for food, shelter, fostering, adoption services, crisis pregnancy centers and so much more.

The government needs to stop trying to keep kids with their dead beat drug addict parents. They keep the kids with the parents so long that nobody wants the kids. These kids would be adopted a lot more if they could go to good homes as babies .

We had foster kids when I was growing up. Although we were just short-term housing, not long-term. We never knew what happened to them, because they were only with us for a few weeks or months.

It's completely run, managed and funded by the government. It's a government program by all known definitions.
Except that the government isn't directly providing any care.

How old were you and what was that like for you? I'm curious.

My church runs a homeless outreach center. They provide showers, laundry services, meals, electricity to charge devices, etc. 7 days a week. They help with case management and a lot of other things. It's one of the things that attracted me to that parish.
I would assume they are being made to provide these services in a very secular manner. Not all churches are desiring to divorce their faith from their charity.

It's safe to say he needed guidance from someone.

Why aren't you fostering?

People paid by the government are providing care, which is the government providing care. These people follow rules and regulations set by the government.
This is, by all definitions, a government program.
If the government stepped aside, the program would basically cease.

I'll just come out and say it.
Society is fricked.
Progressives tore up too many traditional values. It's not repairable.
Compile markers that signify high rates of criminality and child abuse/neglect and sterilized those individuals.
The alternative is this unfixable cycle of abuse and tragedy.
