Answer
Some adults abuse children, neglect,sexual,violent etc.. or engage in criminal or immoral behavior. Their children need to be accommodated away from the parents and the harm being inflicted upon them. This is usually with foster carers. When the parents change their behavior the child will be able to return to the parents. Parental responsibility stays with the parents. If the parents fail to demonstrate change then the authorities may permanently remove the child from the parents at which time they may be freed for adoption and parental responsibility moves to the new parents. Usually when a child is with foster carers the child will maintain some contact with the birth family as the aim should be to return a child to its parents so long as the child will be safe from harm.
AnswerWhilst you should not foster for the money, there should be generous payments to allow people to do it professionally and to not have to work on top of looking after a foster child. Many children who have been abused need to work through the issues and have a supportive rewarding person to help them through it. The work is demanding and emotionally draining and is not at all like having your own children.ANSWER
Foster care is the government taking a child from their family, some times for legitimate reasons, more times not, and placing the child in "foster homes" where people who generally are retired or do not work are paid on a per child basis to provide a "home like" environment.

How can you put an out of control teen into foster care?
You would have to call your local department of social services and ask for the child welfare department. Tell them about your situation and let them know that you need help with your teen. A case manager or social worker will likely talk to you about your situation and discuss different options. They may try to work with the teen in the home first. In my opinion this is the best option unless the teen is violent towards you or you're at risk of abusing the teen. Foster care is not all that great for teens. It's hit or miss. They may go into a great foster home or a really bad one. In my experience and the experience of other social workers, many teens do not get better in foster care - they get worse. Even if you happen to get them in a foster home, you need to work to improve your parenting skills so that they can come home and you can get control of your teen at home. Foster care should be used as a last resort and should be temporary. Try other strategies first such as reading books on parenting troubled teenagers, going to parenting classes and parenting support groups. Try family therapy, even if you can't get your teen to go, you should still go to therapy sessions. You will not get control of your teen until YOU change. You have to change first before you can expect your teen to change.
