By Andrea Brauer It happens with heartbreaking frequency. A Child Protective Services worker gets a call that a child has been removed from an abusive home and needs a place to stay. Given the shortage of foster homes that will take a teenager, the worker ends up driving the child an hour away to a temporary placement, where they will stay until they can find the girl a foster home. The teen, likely hauling her personal belongings in a trash bag, is noted in CPS records as "CWOP," or a Child Without Placement. It's bad enough she has no home. Now she is classified like a misplaced item.
