With you all the way Three Springs but I must say you are wrong in regards to bad foster parents being in the minority and good ones in the majority. It is bad foster parents in the majority and good ones in the minority. We need more good foster parents.

Well, I could suggest you try to interview some foster kids.

It is no secret Foster Care is a come one, come all, for -profit business. At least here in USA and Exhausted says it is the same in the UK. Now , if you say in Korea or some other country, I have no knowledge to dispute that.

In the US, I really think it's contingent on what state you are in. CPS's fostercare oversight is better in some than others. I believe the worst is New Jersey. They have actually lost foster children in their system. In addition, they at one point outsourced their call center to India. (I shit you not. As if it was a tech support line.) People got wind of that and complained up and down, so they moved it back to NJ.

You can foster with the intent to adopt, actually. It's much easier than trying to adopt outright. Also a lot of kids who are in the foster system aren't "needing" brand new, permanent, parents. Their mom could be in jail and their dad missing, for example. As such, they only need temporary care until their mom gets out of the joint.

Lady in my building is a foster parent. She is always down stairs waiting for the mailman on days she gets her checks from the system. They obviously did not do much of a background check on her as she is an alcoholic who drinks forties and is out late at night alot drunk. She also likes to take off her shirt in the hallway and go bra only when she is drunk. She is also a very, very, nasty drunk and is also an anti-white racist.

While I don't have stats about foster parents, I've seen some about foster kids and the prognosis is not good at all. Most foster kids end up FUBAR.

Yes they lost some kids in NJ, but what set the public off was when a child was killed (as in starved to death) and his siblings were close to dead. The foster mom (actually the real mom's sister) was the culprit and her boyfriend turned her in when he discovered the kids chained in the basement.

What caused the uproar was that the assigned social worker signed off that he/she had seen the kids when he/she did not visit the home at all.

The spotlight was thrown on DYFS (Division of Youth and Family Services; NJ's version of CPS) and a court ordered reform. One point made was the case load. Some case workers were assigned over 300 kids to watch.

This was a big news story in NJ when I lived there.

Exhausted's view of British Social Services is coloured and biased at best  :flame:

A recent investigation of CPS in Tx revealed that a child was 5 times more likely to be injured of killed in out-of-home placement. While this included foster care, many kids are placed in RTCs, like Woodside Trails (aka Eagle Pines Academy) and Star Ranch (licensed revoked).
While there are some foster parents who deserve recognition, some are in it for the money.
