    This is utterly disgusting and the long term damage being done to these children is criminal. The costs of "care" for children in the system is on par with private school boarding. Yet the outcomes could not be more stark. "Judge a society on how they treat the most vulnerable."

    I grew up in care and I felt like every time I had to go to a Children's Panel before I moved, it was as if I was cattle or a piece of furniture being auctioned off to whoever was willing to take me, since I was unwanted everywhere else. They sat and talked about how terrible you were as if you weren't even in the room. You are no longer a person, you are considered government property. Everything was about extreme control and micro-management. You felt like you couldn't speak out about being mistreated because the social workers were just as bad and they always took the carer's side. You were not allowed to learn any skills to do things for yourself, got punished for trying to be independent in every way and then they expected you to just know those things at a certain age and would punish you for failing at it. "This is why you can't be trusted to do things for yourself". No mistakes were allowed or you would be threatened with the secure unit for the smallest thing (that's the foster care equivalent of prison). They deliberately set you up for failure and god forbid you want to be something like an artist or musician or a doctor, something other than working in Tesco for your whole life because you were considered a failure. I had a lot of learned helplessness that I still struggle with and at 30, I'm still way behind everyone else at my age with knowing certain skills or just developmentally because it stunts your development. I've got C-PTSD, Quiet BPD, chronic depression and anxiety now.

    The first thing you learn when taking care of children in crisis is to keep as many familiar things/people/places around them as possible. Those people doing this know what they are doing 😥

    The majority of children in care come from a segment of the population that has always been of least interest to government: the poor and dysfunctional. Until a government exists that supports bottom-up development, things will not improve for poor families or the nation.

      Absolutely..It seems to be a cycle of neglect. Often the care leavers have children young, who in their turn get taken into care- and so it goes on.
      EVERY child deserves to be nurtured and loved, but this is far from reality, unfortunately.

    Me and my partner got put off fostering by how the local authority treated us. We were doing some renovations at the time. If they said once completed, try again later and left it at we might have continued, but we were judged on our choice of home decor. We are big fans of rock/metal music and horror films and got told our house would be to scary.

      And if you already place the child, why would you move the child 9 times? I get that they may move you to emergency carer and after that to long term carer. But 9 times? That's wild.

    Ppl are using fertility treatments instead of adopting and fostering child. Because society says the only children that matter have to share dna.

    • @puclopuclik4108
      @puclopuclik4108 3 місяці тому +3

      Fertility treatment has nothing to do with this problem.
      Firstly, people naturally want their own offsprings.
      Secondly, children from social care often have trauma and special needs. Not everyone can provide for those children. It's better to not adopt than being another bad parent.
      Finally, those who seek fertility treatment aren't those whose children end up in care. Those children come from disfunctional families. There is physical and mental abuse. Alcohol and drugs are often involved. Those children may have been unwanted in the first place.
