I don't believe the article goes into detail about why the teens were surrendered.
It doesn't seem to make sense to me though that people would drop off their teens/pre-teens because they couldn't afford them anymore? It's not like they are designer handbags that they can just get rid of.
If they are physically unable to care for them, would it make sense to have relatives help raise them? Plenty of people are raised by their aunts/uncles/grandparents in situations where their parents are unable to do so.
If they are just misbehaving and no one wants them, I am not sure what to say. It's really sad, but then again I've never been in that situation since I don't have kids.
