It's mostly, if not always poor people who are financially unprepared for parenthood. Apparently, you are not actually involved in your community or you'd know that. As someone who represents children in our juvenile deprived courts on a regular basis, I have not seen very many middle class or higher families have their children taken away because of abuse or neglect. It does happen, but it is rare. I'm pretty used to seeing children taken from homes with no running water or electricity, and it's never just one child. These dumb bastards tend to have 3-4, at least one is special needs, probably due to neglect. Their rights get terminated and they go on to breed again.
Your apparent solution, not having any more children is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It works great until it leads to the extinction of the species. What of your programs and services are actually making a substantial impact on generational poverty? (in a positive way as most of these programs tend to encourage and enable it)

I have to say that there are some things I agree with you on but, the way in which you share your viewpoint comes off as really pretentious. I would hope you don't speak to your clients in such a manner to let them know you think of them as trash. I also found it offensive that you believe some people have a special needs child, as you stated, "probably due to neglect." Please, if nothing else, find a way to present your argument without offending every other person out there.
