Unter der Unterbringung eines Kindes versteht man die Übertragung des Sorgerechts für ein oft adoptiertes Kind von einer Betreuungsperson oder Familie auf eine andere, ohne dass eine gerichtliche Aufsicht oder die Beteiligung der Kinderschutzbehörden erfolgt. Diese informelle Vereinbarung, die häufig über Online-Plattformen wie Facebook, Yahoo Groups, Craigslist, Instagram und spezielle Adoptionsforen ermöglicht wird, umgeht übliche Sicherheitsprotokolle wie Hintergrundüberprüfungen und Hausstudien.

My question would be if the act would still be illegal under some other law in any of those red states. Like would people just get charged with some kind of neglect charge instead?
sounds like a craigslist ad gone very wrong
Holy crap imagine the rampant abuse that goes on because of nonsense like this
The colors should be reversed! Red to me means “illegal” while green would better indicate “legal.”
These laws mostly have good intentions but leave too much room for abuse.
Imagine having a cousin or sibling that hits hard times with drug abuse or something so you take their kids in. Then get slapped with a felony when they sobered up and came home to no kids a month later.
Probably easily beaten charges but still.
When I was a teen, I hit a breaking point in my relationship with my parents. I ran off and eventually went to my grandmother’s house, not knowing where else to go. I told her I couldn’t handle going back home and, after she looped my mom in, I ended up living there for the rest of my teenage years. My siblings eventually reached the same breaking point one after the other and wound up either with other family or with friends. In the long run it was the best thing for all of us.
I can see the obvious potential for abuse in this unregulated system. Then again, social services has no legal obligation to protect children from abuse *anyway* ([DeShaney v. Winnebago County](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeShaney_v._Winnebago_County)) so, you know, there’s *that*. Either way, I have to imagine the majority of cases of „rehoming“ are cases like mine where either a child runs away or a parent who is unable to care for their child puts them in the care of a trusted close family member and it ends up being the best case for everyone involved.
So….human trafficking?
This kind of thing happens frequently in the red states. It happened to me, my mom took me across Stateline and dumped me off on her family. When they began talking of contacting my dad, who had split custody of me but was living over 300 miles away, my mother began cutting all contact and took me back.
Kids deserve stability and love, not a game of hot potato!
Like, for example, finding a prom night baby in the trash and adopting them as yours would be considered legal on the red states?
Like, I don’t even know if informal adoption is legal in my country, less if we talk about another one.
Guess my grandparents are hardened criminals for raising me and my siblings while my dad was in jail and my mom dipped on us.
Bad choice putting red and green together considering that red-green colorblindness is the most prevalent form of colorblindness.
I mean, the parents are consenting to this right? If so, why must the government be involved in this? We entrust the parents to make medical decisions, including life and death decisions, over the child. Why does the government need to be involved in this aspect as well? Frankly, if a parent knows they aren’t the best at raising them, I consider it a step in the right direction for them to acknowledge this and for a different family member (or close friend) to raise the child while they can play what role they can.
If you are implying something illegal is going on, like human trafficking, different laws would be at play there including child endangerment. In quite a few states intent isn’t needed when it comes to these things (I was actually watching one video where a mother admits to drinking and falling asleep while her child was in the bathtub, double digit sentence). You do something like „sell your child“, I got a feeling there are far harsher laws that can be applied.
