Children that are living with their parents might be in an unstable home and are better off in a foster home. The article, “Nonprofit program fosters "can do" attitude for foster kids in high school,” demonstrates how some people are better off in a foster home than with their family. It says, “Robinson was the youngest child by 27 years. Even though she grew up with both her parents in the Central District of Seattle, hers was hardly an ideal childhood. Her mother, who has been clean for several months, struggled with alcoholism, and the house they lived in was a classic hoarder’s home, which Robinson called ‘unlivable’,” (Staff, 2015). Although some kids might be living in an unstable household the foster system isn’t better because kids are going through the same thing in foster homes. The government doesn’t regulate the foster system so the kids are in lack of food and supplies in a foster home. They are struggling to survive in foster homes too. Foster homes need to be better regulated in order for it to be a better environment for these kids. They might be getting abused in some type of way in their household and shouldn’t live there anymore. In the article, “California teen's long road from foster care to Olympic pentathlon dreams,” Staff is showing how much pain and abuse kids endure when they are at home. It states,

Although most children can make their own decisions and choose the right path, children’s lives can be changed by just one mistake of their parents’. The most common reason that children end up in the foster system is because of abuse and neglect. If a child ends up in the foster system they “are 95% more likely to be arrested as a juvenile, 28% more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30% more likely to commit a violent crime” (“Foster Care Statistics”). It is not even the child’s fault that they ended up in the foster system and the percentage of them doing wrong has raised as a result of their parents decisions. All children in the foster system have a right to a chance of having a better life. According to mom.me, Harden wrote “children in foster care have a high incidence of mental disturbances than kids not in foster care” (“How Can Foster Care Affect The Mind Of A Child”). This explains why a few of the children lean towards negative people in their

According to author Susan Egbert Cutler, “foster care provides children, youth, or adults with supervision and a place to live outside of their usual home setting” (Cutler). Typically, a person gets placed in foster care because they come from an unsafe home environment and are unable to care for themselves on their own (Cutler). The experiences of every child in foster care are different because there are so many variables that contribute to whether or not a particular foster home is a good fit for the child: the biological parents, the foster parents, the circumstances of the placement, and the foster child themselves. For example, Wanda Corley, who was a child placed in foster care during the 1950s, has her own unique perspective on foster
