A new HBO documentary titled "Fostered" takes a critical look into the child welfare system in our country. The Los Angeles times callsthe documentary disturbingly accurate in explaining the problems of child welfare agencies. So what are the solutions for the almost 2,000 children currently in the foster care system in Idaho? We learn more from folks with the Family Resource and Training Center, which is holding a series of informational meetings in September.
