"Having worked in a group home for kids with severe behavorial problems, I knew of several adoptees who were subjected to this type of thing and had to be removed from the home.
"The part you don't see is that many of them can never function in society after. They might manage to get a GED, or if it wasn't too severe, actually graduate, etc. But when it's this bad, in a lot of cases, they're a total danger to society.
"They live a nightmare, and the terror doesn't just go away when they are removed from the home. It has infected their minds by that point. Again, they could adjust and be normal, but especially boys, it makes them meaner and more sadistic a lot of the time. So, where they COULD hold a job if they set their mind to it, they would often rather take their revenge on the world and are prone to commiting crime, because their whole existance has been one of a victim of crime.
"It often revolves around religious zealotry. The parents have convinced themselves that they are these extremely morally upright people and impose their level of puritanism on their foster kids. By all appearances, they get patted on the back for being a good samaritan and adopting the underprivileged black baby, only to end up just as bad as the reason they had to end up a ward of the state to begin with!"
