That represents an enormous loss of income for the Finicums. According to a 2010 tax filing, Catholic Charities paid the family $115,343 to foster children in 2009. That year, foster parents were compensated between $22.31 and $37.49 per child, per day, meaning if the Finicums were paid at the maximum rate, they cared for, on average, eight children per day in 2009.

“That was my main source of income,” Finicum said. “My ranch, well, the cows just cover the costs of the ranch. If this means rice and beans for the next few years, so be it. We’re going to stay the course.”

AND - You can damn well bet he had those kids doing free-ranch hand work at his ranch slave camp. Piss this makes me angry.

1. Anybody who makes much, if any, profit from foster children

is not doing it right.

3. How much you wanna bet those kids are living on rice & beans, while "LaVoy" uses the rest of the $$

...the build up his personal weapons cache?

4. Foster kids automatically qualify for food stamps, medicaid, and WIC* if under 5.

So that cash amount he received does not include eight kids' worth of grocery money every month, plus some additional groceries if any of the kids were under five.

6. That guy surely didn't have any under 5

He probably like the older boys so they could work his ranch for free. Scumbag.

5. I know someone like that

She's Opus Dei and fosters a bunch of special-needs children.

She is the worst,lying,rumor-monger in the Development. I hate to think how she treats those Children.

7. Disturbing. I'd like to seem some major journalistic exposes on this.
