Young children torn from their parents, sleeping in a different bed every night. Families torn apart needlessly – and illegally — over and over again.

But this time it’s not the U.S.-Mexico border. This time it’s Florida.

Who says it’s illegal? A report commissioned by the state itself.

Why is it happening? In part, because caseworkers are terrified of “media consequences” if they leave a child in her or his own home and something goes wrong.
