Who made this warning?

I need a name

Because that has nothing to do with debt, putting kids in foster care wound only cost the state even more money

That is only about unbridled power and control

Absolutely delusional

Agreed. Name and shame. Whatever fucker came up with this deserves to be ostracised.

The Wyoming Valley West School District.

If you want the name of the person standing behind the letter,

Wyoming Valley West's lawyer, Charles Coslett, said he did not consider the letters to be threatening.

"Hopefully, that gets their attention and it certainly did, didn't it? I mean, if you think about it, you're here this morning because some parents cried foul because he or she doesn't want to pay a debt attributed to feeding their kids. How shameful," Coslett told WYOU-TV.

I'm having a hard time confirming it, but it looks like an Irvin DeRemer was the super while this occurred, but was replaced in the 2025 election.

It's also an empty threat,

Luzerne County's manager and child welfare agency director have written the superintendent, insisting the district stop making what they call false claims.

Also. The majority of long term homeless individuals are people that aged out of the foster care system. The moment they turn 18 they are out on their ass with only the clothing on their back and no life skills because foster care in America is little better than prison.

Aka slavery. The stories of foster kids are often horrific.

Yes, but kids in foster care are easy to abuse, so your tax dollars might be worth it for some.
