I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

Foster familys yeah I use familys loosely cause they ain't familys. But they dont want the kid no they want the money the kid can die for all they care just send that money. Kid can starve an die just send that money. Kid can be abused any way but who give a damn just send money.
Yeah, I got to see some foster homes when i worked at shelter during high school and most of the foster parents are standoffish. The kids get fed 3 times a day, have curfew, and get hand me downs....but no bonding or love at all. it’s not a family like atmosphere. The sad part is when kids that grow close together get split up eventually.

Sorry for your bad experience, but I know two foster families and they do care and honestly usually it's the fosters that get abused.

Can you file an official complaint against them? 😐 That sucks..

Definitely not always the case, but happens too often to be ignored.

@Effloresce I got lot of personal experience

I know of a few very successful foster care experiences of people close to me, but I do think the foster care system is severely lacking in many departments @SW-User

@Effloresce I agree is really not fair to paint all families who foster kids in the same light

The system is set up stupid. Not enough check ins, limited time with good environments and you age out overnight. Like a child can set themselves up for the future, let alone one that's been shuffled around constantly.

@KittenfromHell very stupid

How were you abused by your foster family?
SW-User
@Hdryder555 ignored, talked down to, one hit me, treat me like trash, treated like live in servant
