Just to add my 2 cents, I agree with the post about group homes trying to keep the kids because of the paycheck. Both I and the SW have been fighting B's group home since December to have her placed here with me. It was a court order that she be placed here but the group home was given some say as to when they felt she would be "ready" to move out of the goup home and in with me. The clinician at the group home even went as far as to say she didn't feel that B should be placed here with me because she didn't like the school system in my town!!!!!! The SW kindly reminded her that the children in the goup home went to an inner-city school riddled with drugs and violence and that the school system in my town was one of the best in the state!
On another note, getting rid of head lice is not that hard if you do it right and are persistant in making sure all nits are out of the child's hair. My own children have caught head lice from school twice and I have always been able to nip it in the bud the first time without any replases. Yes it is work but it can be done. Sounds like pure lazyness on the group home's part and from what I understand you don't need a doctor to treat head lice. What surprises me about it is that the group home staff doesn't take care of this if for the only reason of being afraid of catching lice themselves!
