My mom is a special educator and she mainly works with autistic children.
She had this one child that was severely non-verbal, she did everything in her power to get the County school system to do the right thing but they refused to give her the classes she needed. So, long story short, the parents refused to give up and told their Pastor. The Church went to court and won and the kid got their services. The kid afaik is still non-verbal but is doing much better.
When my mom asked the pastor, why the church went to bat was because they had hope that the kid would get better and it was the right thing to do.
Now, I say all this to say this, that people will do what they think is right. They want their best for their children just as the parent who stubbornly got their church to go to bat for them. And the parents who put their children in homes want the best quality of life.
And I don't necessarily see them as giving up, we perceive that, but I feel deep down, they aren't. They want whats best for their kid.
