It's been called "trading custody for care" and even a "passport to services" - the decision to turn custody of your child over to the state.
It sounds cruel. But listen to the stories of those who have done it, and you'll quickly realize it is often a heartbreaking act of love.
The families confronted with this decision may be out of ideas for how to keep their children with autism safe as they violently fling their bodies against a wall. Parents struggle as children with dual diagnoses like impulse control disorder and intellectual disability wander out their door and into the arms of child predators.
The stories are real. For parents navigating programs that try to help, looking for the one that will actually make a difference, it is exhausting.
As part of a data fellowship with USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism, Rebecca Lindstrom 11Alive's investigative team, The Reveal, has documented how the challenges of raising children with severe emotional and developmental disabilities can lead to abandonment.
In the past five years, 1,268 Georgia children were abandoned or surrendered due to a parent's inability to cope or the child's behavior. More than half of those children were surrendered twice - either abandoned again by their parents, another family member, a foster parent, or an institution that thought it could help.

How can #reporters responsibly cover the fast-moving #pandemic story? Pick apart source studies that decisions are being based upon, New Yorker Contributor and Weill Cornell Medicine Dr. Dhruv Khullar says. When the White House made the call to push for COVID-19 vaccine boosters, it was based upon three studies, and "none of them presents a slam dunk," Dr. Khullar says.
