Boys get up in church asking for a family

I heard this story a few weeks ago and every time I do I cry. Every child deserves a safe place to call home with love support the whole nine yards and then some. Someone to tuck them in at night, to wipe away tears and boo boos, to encourage, to support, to be there, to spoil, to keep them in line, to teach them right from wrong, to have a safe place to fall, and so on....... 

Why? How? What can we do to make sure this doesn't happen? 

Here is the story
