neglectful parents go into foster care. And the vast majority of those kids are returned to their family once the parents clean up their act (via classes and home visits by social workers)
In a lot of cases, the kids go to live with an aunt, uncle or grandparent...in othr cases they end up at 'non-related extended family members' homes (think god parent or neighbor or good friend of the family or kid's best friend's family)
A fun factoid: In 2019, 56% of the children who left foster care were reunited with their families or living with a relative; 26% were adopted.
