My kids are around so many other kids, interacting, playing, arguing, sometimes fighting (hands to yourself!), they are around so many caring adults that live nearby, we talk to them every time we see them. I know how lucky we are. I bet people that say dumping your kid at an institution have no idea how nice life could be in that regard.

That certainly doesn’t sound like an institution to me.

What is an institution if not a collection of people?

Family, community, nation are all collections of people that are not institutions.
