I am going to identify a problem for The Province Dayton, a student-housing apartment complex off campus. One problem the Province Dayton has is reaching to 100% occupancy constantly. The Province of Dayton has been open since Fall 2009, and until this past leasing season they have never reached a 100%. The Province only does individual liability leasing, which means they only lease by the bed space, for an example in a four-bedroom apartment, you would pay rent just for your one bedroom, and then your roommates would pay for theirs.

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.

I finally caught up to our client, Timothy Foster, near his residence in Jacksonville, Alabama. If you recall, Mr. Foster is the son of co-defendant and State Farm insured Nakeshia Foster. Mr. Foster had been very hard to get in touch with. I finally called his mother and asked her again for her help in having him contact us. We were finally able to meet at a McDonald’s directly adjacent to the sight of the accident.

This case was last before the court on 6/26/2017 for a report to the court. At that time, temporary custody of Issac Johnson remained with the Department and a pretrial conference date was set for October 30, 2017.

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 system has been stretched too thin as the turn of the 21st century rolled around. Higher entrance into the system with new policies and lower staff has given way to a new problem-the highly abusive environment that surrounds the whole system. The mistreatment of the children and their foster families within in the system is now a prevalent issue in the Child Welfare Organization. The long-term effects of the abusive foster care system comes from the mismanagement of the system such as the instability within placement, lack of rights to foster families, ignoring culture heritage and misused policies that create detrimental health for the children in later years. The harsh foster care system under the control of the government in the U.S. can be changed with the addition of reorganization to the agency via more staff and communication and stability through more permanent placements for the children as well as the families. First I will define what I mean by abuse and address the current problems that the foster care system is facing such as instability and mismanagement. Then I will explain what the possible negative long-term effects of entrance into the foster care system. Finally I will discuss what steps could be taken to change this situation such as the creation of stable housing and uniform programs for the foster care system.

On August 17, 2015 I started my senior year of high school. I had looked forward to this year since I was in eighth grade. I had always heard about how much freedom a senior in high school is given. I was working hard towards my academic goals. While at the same time, planning my future, enjoying the football games and extra-curricular activities. I was truly enjoying my senior year but the journey came to an abrupt halt on the morning of October 1, 2015 when I became ill.

Though I never entered foster care as a child and therefore, did not consider this topic directly related to my childhood; I see things differently now. The largest common denominator for the existence of foster care and the primary reason why children get placed is extreme poverty. Although I have gone hungry myself here and there in my life, and I also have encountered financial hardship throughout, it appears as really nothing compares to the histories of these families. The traumas they have endured living through despair and darkness of these circumstances is not easy to put into words. My research took me to different genders, different cultures, and different extremes of personal history. It was really heartbreaking to find out these facts via individual memoirs because it felt like they all sat in the middle of my room, up close and personal. What I do know now without a doubt is that I can clearly relate to the raw emotions which back up any human trauma out there. Any of these emotions are what connects humans all over the world; it gives people the key to relating to one another, especially in the space of suffering, as it will demonstrate through the call for and usage of foster care.

Over the years, foster care has evolved into something much greater than in the past. It has become modernized and more diverse. There are three different kinds of foster care; emergency care, traditional or regular care, and therapeutic needs. The system helps children who have or are suffering from abuse or neglect. “Children in foster care may live with unrelated foster parents, with relatives, with families who plan to adopt them, or in group .

Recently, at my internship I was involved in a re-placement foster home with a six-year old child unknowingly. Initially I was under the impression that I was transporting this young boy back to his original foster home, after a parenting time visit. However, I got more that what I bargain for. I was not given much information on the child, which I would later find out would have been conducive to my approach with the incident that occurred. While transporting this child, I discovered that the child was not prepped for his reassignment to a new foster home, as well as just recently had come into care. The young boy became extremely dismayed when he noticed I was not taking him to his previous foster home.

This young teenage Caucasian girl was a victim of unsuitable foster families. Before she entered foster care, she lived with her mother, in a single parent household. Her father was not present while growing up, he left when she was six months old. Her mother is a jealous, self-centered artist whose focus is on her not on her daughter. Her mother ruled her house under a totalitarian rule. Although, the client lived in a single parent home headed by a female, the economic situation was well.

Starting back to school is a big accomplishment for me since I have not attended school

on October 31, Mr. Blair-Foster is in custody in Hennepin County jail on a PC hold for violation of an Order for Protection. Also, Mr. Blair-Foster indicated to his probation officer that he does not plan to comply with Child Protection, including following through with appointments. Mr. Blair-Foster was no show to his Child Protection appointment on 10/25/16.

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
