I've been thinking about this since this morning, and I remember the one time I went into the tuning to check it out, and found this in the child-neglect tracker: 98476 LESS_OR_EQUAL

Like they have some kind of annihilator that not only destroys the sim, but the ghost as well. Keeps costs down, I guess. Maybe I'd feel better about it if children who got taken away got added to the pool of potential walkby's instead of getting deleted...
Like InsularFLY, I'd also like to know where you found this in the code. Which file is it in? If I don't get a reply, I may just have to go digging. I'm so sick of how they decided to handle Social Work and adoption, I'm thinking about making an overhaul...

Sims 1 was designed same way - like if the Sims child did badly in school they were taken away by the social worker and said to be sent to Military school - a school they never returned from and if you checked the files you would see that childs files were totally gone from the game permanently.
If a new born cried more than a few times - not long at all during the 3 days it was an enfant - the social worker would not only take the child away - again permanently - and on top of it would declar your Sims unfit parents and would not allow them to have another baby or adopt a child ever. In Sims 1 that was forever as there was no aging in the game - so you fail at kids you sort of didn't get a second chance.
