[quote=Anonymous]Have you been around the population of kids who end up in foster care? I work at a school that is 100% free and reduced lunch eligible. The kids that end up in foster care are the ones that not only have suffered abuse and/or neglect, they don't have stable extended relatives to take them in so they have to grow up quickly. To survive when your mom is so out of it that she doesn't feed you AND there is no concerned grandmother or aunt to check in on you means you need to often lie, steal, fight, etc. because you can't trust anyone. These kids often have to grow up so quickly a 7 year old may have the street vocabulary of a 14 year old. A sibling group of 2 or 3 elementary foster kids don't need to be in a house with 3 other kids, they need what they never have had- attention. You sound really naive, OP. [/quote]
