I am so thoroughly disgusted with all of them I don't know if I even want to watch anymore. I don't know where the writer of this article lives, but where I'm from, that's NOT realistic, to let your friend's kid go into foster care, especially when they all have the financial means to care for a child. As a previous poster said, life is unexpected and messy and you roll with it.

I wish Violet and Pete had kept Betsy. She was the only one really fighting for her and Betsy really deserved to be taken in, not abandoned yet again and ending up in the system. This girl is gonna have a hard life :(

I agree Claudy - I think Dell would be so disappointed & hurt. He worked hard to make sure his daughter was cared for and loved her so much, they knew how much she meant to him and they just turned their backs. I know they might not be ready for a child or to handle that situation, but was Betsey ready to lose both her parents and be put in the turmoil she is in? It's called life - stuff happens and you are forced to deal with it. I don't think it would be that big of a deal to take the responsibility of taking Betsey, knowing you are doing the right thing (unless of course if she started being the devil child, then I could see someone having issues with her staying there - but she should at least have the chance for normalcy after what she's been through). It was just really heartbreaking to watch.

Poor little Betsey. I hope that sense of abandonment she's left with doesn't see her growing up with a withdrawn or hostile personality or something.
Seriously! I don't think even Violet believed herself when she was giving Betsey that crap about how she might have this wonderful family waiting out there just for "their own little girl". How realistic do you think that is for an 8-year-old?
To think that they're doing this to Dell's little girl who he loved so much when he was alive......Dell would be turning in his grave.
