The U.S foster care system is corrupt and the children trapped in it face the worst of it. The goal of foster care is to eventually reunite children with their parents or find the child a safe, loving home. Instead, foster kids face the harsh reality of abuse, mental illness, and temporary homes. The children and ripped from the homes they’ve known their entire lives because their parents struggle financially. The system would rather pay strangers to the child to take care of him/her rather than helping the parents of the child. This case would be called “neglect” when in reality most parents were doing all they could to take care of their children. The children’s new foster parents are paid hundreds of dollars per month. Often times, the money doesn’t go to the child and he/she is left truly neglected. The system is broken because children are taken from their homes for the wrong reasons and put into unsafe environments that will have a traumatic effect on the rest of their lives.

The only problem, that occurred while on the initial visit to the prospective foster carer, was how long the process takes to become a foster carer. It was explained on the visit, that the next step would be skills to foster course. However, the nearest course was fully booked and so the prospective foster carer would have to wait for the next available course. Overall, the process could take up to 1 year, however the prospective foster carer believed she could foster sooner. This was the only difficulty for the prospective foster carer and the social worker, as they cannot speed up the process even though the foster carer has substantial potential.

Children who were physically abuse and neglected in their childhood live a full and constructive life. Getting the proper help in a child's early years helps the children get stronger and better every day. Some people who grow up in foster care become foster care parents for children who were abused. Some people become foster care parents because they know how it’s like being in foster care. People make safe homes for children like group homes for children who are not wanted in foster homes. Children who dealt with any type of abuse in their childhood most likely become a social worker or even a counselor in the future. They help children who dealt with the same issue as they did. They reach back and help children have better lives and encourage

Because foster kids have often come from situations where there was little stability, a regular schedule for sibling visits and creating things they can rely on is paramount to creating a suitable environment for their growth. If you are a foster parent who is committed to making sure siblings get to see one another, even when they can't be placed in the same home, then creating a schedule of upcoming visits is a smart move.

An adult’s psychological development depends on one’s childhood experiences with adults and their capability of providing nurturance, protection, trust, and security to the developing child. Children with current and previous ties to the foster care system were found to have behavioral, emotional, and social well-being issues. The United States averages more than 400,000 children in foster care during the year. Amongst these 400,000 children, as many as 50% have developmental disorders or psychiatric diagnoses (Hutchinson). Children placed within the foster care system are more likely to be found to have mental health issues due to the inadequacy

The foster care is known to be the current system to manage social issues related to the child neglect and abuse. It grew out of a system being used by every class and due to certain economic conditions. The officials designated as considering poor had authority to indenture children from poor families than the providence of relief. Besides indenture by government officials, children were formally placed with other family to learn trade. The relationship indenture was based on expectations and economic aspects to provide formal education along with emotional and psychological needs. It appears logical that the system is required to attend the possible effects of foster care on children (Minnis, et al., 2001). Over the years, researchers outside the system have conducted different studies related to the foster care that provided mixed information. ===== concluded that the initial process of separation of children from their parents is considered as catastrophic or unpleasant. The initial parting is found to be dramatic and frightening for children being inappropriately prepared. Older children report their relief upon separation from their parents due to conflicts in home and they were often found to be sad. Such sort of experiences among children regardless

Susie’s mother opened the door to let Molly, Susie’s babysitter, inside. Ten-month old Susie seemed happy to see Molly. Susie then observed her mother put her jacket on and Susie’s face turned from smiling to sad as she realized that her mother was going out. Molly had sat for Susie many times in the past month, and Susie had never reacted like this before. When Susie’s mother returned home, the sitter told her that Susie had cried until she knew that her mother had left and then they had a nice time playing with toys until she heard her mother’s key in the door. Then Susie began crying once again.

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.

The study consisted of 12 parents who foster children ages 2-8 years old. The high levels of conduct problems among children in the foster care system and the added cost to families, society and services, there is a pressing need to support foster parents. Providing foster care to children with increased emotional, behavioral, and medical needs requires not only time, but patience in dealing with the child’s demands. Foster parents often voice they are unprepared to meet demand of children with increased behavioral and emotional needs and adolescents in their care. This situation can result in placement disruption, which further strains foster care resources and has negative impacts on foster children and youth. The incidence of conduct disorder

The North American Canadian Foster Care System has been a controversial issue and has been debated for a long time. During the last few decades of the twentieth century, the number of children in foster care has increased in alarming numbers (Being a Foster Child, 2017). In the past years, it has been proven that the Foster Care System is in crisis and fails the children, who are placed in it, in various ways. In order to examine this failure to a greater extent, one essential question needs to be asked: “What is the relationship between a foster child’s placement in the foster care system and how well they develop?”. It is very important to examine the effects of the children’s past experiences on their further development during their time in the system, and moving into the future, as these past exposures

The foster care system, is a temporary arrangement in which adults provide for the care of a child or children whose birthparent is unable to care for them. This can be for a variety of reasons, they can be addicted to drugs, homeless with no means of support or they have passed away and there is no other family member to take the child or children. No matter the reason, the children are placed into a home for their protection. However, some of the children aren’t always placed into a safe home. The amount of abuse that happens to children in foster care is staggering, ranging from neglect, physical, sexual and even emotional abuse. All of the reasons the children could have been taken from their homes to begin with. So then if they were put in to foster care for their protection, whose really protecting them?
