That's not normal. Foster placements are almost always intended to get the child home. The parents don't stop being the parents and usually have a list of conditions to follow, this might be drug testing, improving the home, etc.
It can be quick, a couple of weeks, but it's often slow. With having to get off drugs they have to do X amount of weekly drug tests to prove they're long term clean, 6 months isn't uncommon for serious addicts.
This baby was intended to go home and they knew it.
You can have pet foxes. They're not great pets, they're loud, they smell bad, they will probably pee on everything, but if captive bred theyre quite tame and there's a particular line that came from a domestication experiment who are especially tame.

Collective punishment IS a war crime. Travel is a privelege, not being able to go on holiday to specific places isn't punishment. Do you realise most countries aren't permitted to travel somewhere?
Fern Brady I find always makes me laugh, it's like she's enjoying herself and just bringing everyone else along for the ride. Even in interviews I just end up really enjoying myself.

As Jarfil said, it's not automatically doing anything. The police can get a court order to get footage. It's only given in very limited circumstances, like if the owner goes missing, or the camera might have spotted a significant crime, and it's not just ring but basically anything. If you are suspected of a serious crime police can get your internet browsing history, they can bug your house, they can dig through your bins, and yes, can request the clips taken by your ring camera.
It's happened 11 times this year. That shows how rarely courts give these orders.
The idea that Ring is some evil thing that's doing anything different is just scaremongering.
Pica is an issue that you can work on. No animal should have it.
