Our current adoption and foster care system can often be easily abused. Unscrupulous "parents" can adopt children for the sake of a paycheck from the government, then spend most of that money on themselves. On 'Judge Jeanine Pirro' (weekdays, syndicated), the judge encounters a pair of such foster parents. Judge Pirro is not pleased -- at all.

The plaintiff and the defendant -- who are cousins-- tried to use foster care money to pay their rent, and are now suing each other. Judge Pirro has no time for either of them. "Shame on you! Shame on you!" she says. "... There is a special place in hell reserved for people who use children to raise money." It's hard to argue with that, and neither of the cousins can really say much in their own defense.
