What I meant by that, and Ms. Johnston will clarify this for me, is that of the kinds of care that an agency can provide, such as foster care, support in the family, and taking them out and putting them in care, by far the most expensive is putting them in care. According to our evaluations, it runs around $90,000 to $100,000 per child, whereas the prevention services run closer to $20,000 to $25,000 per kid. So it's kind of a truism that an ounce of prevention is a lot cheaper than the remedy.
Child protection is always a choice by the agency: do you intervene early or do you intervene later? You want to leave the kid with the family, because of all the reasons I was talking about earlier, but if you leave it too late to intervene, then tragedy can occur. It's a very tough job for the agencies.
