A Correct Answer: Children were left in the care of their parents rather than taken away.
Feedback for Correct Answer: By the early 1900s, attitudes had evolved to the point that social reformers no longer supported the practice of taking children from poor parents. Buttressed by new child development theories, they denounced orphanages as harmful to children and advocated foster parent placement and care as an alternative.
