587 Words3 Pages

I believe that foster children should be treated better. I believe this because foster children all over the world foster kids are getting beaten, being forced to do stuff they do not want to do. Furthermore, I am going to ask people what they think about foster children and how they are treated. Although, some people may not agree with me I’m going still going to fight for what I believe. Some cases that happen sometimes do not get recorded and those kids that went through that knowing that it happened and no one did anything about it. My fight that is when a child is placed in a foster home that the people taking the kid in are checked into to see if they are going to treat the child properly. I chose this topic because it bothers me deeply that foster children aren’t treated correct. I mean, if anything they should be treated better because the people taking care of them don’t know what happened to them in their lives and the parents are there to take care of this child. Instead, they are just taking advantage of them and telling them to do stuff they do not want to do.

Foster children are just like any other child and they should treated like it. If I was a foster parent taking care of a child who had no …show more content…

    Foster care is one of the oldest social systems, its official implementation dating back to 1909, when the federal government officially suggested that foster homes were the best way to care for children, as opposed to the former system of orphanages and orphan trains. Foster care began as a voluntary way for parents to ensure their children could live a better life, but has since become a largely involuntary way to remove a child from a potentially dangerous situation (Rosenfield et al., 1997). Social workers predate this system, first appearing within the first Charity Organization as “friendly visitors” in 1877 (Segal, 2020). Social workers and foster care have long been intertwined, but social policy dictates much of what the foster care

This practice was imported to the United States and marked the beginning of placing children into foster homes (Reuters, 2014).

    Many of the placements are done to carry out the systems policies and other placements are done if foster parents don’t meet the child needs. Children are less likely to be moved many times if a foster family is prepared to meet the child 's challenging needs. The foster care system is also in need of more social workers that will ensure that the child is placed in a good family so that they are not moved several times. Plenty of placements are also done if the child is initially placed in short-term care but needs to be moved to long term. However, the more changes a child experiences decreases the chance of them returning home or being adopted.
