At the beginning of the year, Child Protective Services, triggered by suspected family abuse, forcibly arranged for her temporary stay with a foster family. The reason was as minor as her father being busy earning money with temporary jobs after unemployment, which led to Bessie wearing dirty clothes to school for several consecutive days鈥攁 fact noticed by her teacher. Moreover, when the teacher paid a home visit, they coincidentally found a few issues of Penthouse magazine within Bessie's reach. This discovery was a treasure for the Rhode Island Child Protective Services, who had just received the new Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act as a weapon. It was finally their chance to put it to use. Now, Bessie stayed with a middle-class family in the capital, Providence, living a comfortable life.
