## Resource

Two brothers in New South Wales’ foster care system are facing dire conditions—missing school, going hungry, and freezing without proper clothes—all while being housed in an outsourced “alternate care” arrangement where carers show up late and lack ID. The magistrate called it “shocking and unacceptable,” and critics point to over two dozen past reviews ignored by the government. An independent review has been launched, but the core problem remains: a broken system failing vulnerable kids. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
