The Foster Care System was designed to create a safe place for children to escape abuse in their own homes, or for their parents to learn and apply better habits. Although this concept is accurate many times children leave a toxic home and enter a new one. Abuse is very prominent in foster care homes. Many parents try their best to care for the children under their care, but the abusive minority is large enough to raise serious concern. (Wexler, 2017). The homes where abusive is dominant which are designed to care for these children have become unsafe. A child should have the right to feel safe no matter the situation, sadly that is not the case.

Steffanie, of California, is one of the 415,129 U.S. foster children who depend on caseworkers to keep them safe in the system (AFCARS Report #22, 2015). These workers are reliant on government agencies for the support necessary to protect the hundreds of thousands of kids they are responsible for, but their needs are not always prioritized. Caseworkers should not be liable as [some] foster care systems often start them off with little training, fail to give them the resources they need, and burden them with the struggle of unmanageable caseloads and long hours on small

Residence for children who have been a victim to abuse, neglect or other matters in their family that put them in harms way. This is what the foster care system was designed for. It keeps these children safe and provides a temporary home until the parents get their life together and prove themselves or they do not, and the children get adopted by loving families.

As an adult, people that I encounter in my everyday life often wonder how I got to be the person that I am today – an understanding, open-minded individual who does not look down upon anyone that is less fortunate than I am and who does not look to “more” fortunate individuals as role models.
