Consider This from NPR - NPR Investigates: How States Charge Poor Parents For Their Own Kids’ Foster Care
An NPR investigation digs into the practice of billing parents for their children's foster care — something that happens in every state in the country.
It's a bill many cannot afford to pay, which in turn makes it even more difficult for parents to get their lives back on track and reunite with their children. On top of that, research shows government actually loses money when it tries to collect on foster care bills.
NPR investigative correspondent Joseph Shapiro reports, in collaboration with Teresa Wiltz of POLITICO.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Headlines From The Times - The Chinese Communist Party and me, Part 1
Two years ago, the world watched as millions of people in Hong Kong marched in the streets to call for autonomy from China. Beijing responded by passing a national security law last summer that broadly defined acts of subversion, foreign collusion and terrorism. Critics say the law crushed civil liberties. Since it was enacted, many people have fled Hong Kong — some to neighboring Taiwan. Yet Taiwan, a self-governing island that China claims as its territory, is at risk as well.
Today, we start a two-part series on the Chinese Communist Party’s ambitions as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. This episode gets into the continued crackdown on freedom and democracy in Hong Kong, where authorities have arrested thousands of pro-democracy activists and shut down a major daily newspaper. We’ll also discuss China’s growing threats to absorb Taiwan. Tomorrow, how the Chinese Communist Party is rewriting China’s history.
An earlier version of this episode was published July 1, 2021.
