Question: If my parents are divorced, can my mom put me in foster care w/o dad's permission?
Answer: In Arizona a child goes to foster care when he or she is abandoned
or abused. If your mother has custody and cannot care for you, your father
should seek custody. The court will prefer a parent over a stranger if a
parent is available and can care for the child.
The determination will not be whether your father give
permission. It is whether there is an alternative to foster care that is
better for you. The court must make orders that are in your best
interests, taking everything into consideration.

I don't think it is wrong to put children in foster homes, because if they disrespect there parents or they're really bad and they tried everything with them... then yeah they should go to foster homes.
