Parents of children taken into care are notorious for having lots of spare cash.

Why not all the costs? They are their kids, why should we pay for them if they can? Only when they are unable to pay should we have to put our hands in our pockets. Imo

This seems to be for voluntary care, rather than court ordered.
This will include situations such as a single parent with no support system going into hospital for a while, situations where a parent is worried about their rebellious, violent teenager’s effects on their younger kids, etc.

Surely they should pay some kind of child maintenance as they are their children. Absent parents are expected to pay.
