Its a tough call. My previous foster child came from a foster home that was abusive. There are good foster parents and there a bad foster parents. I'd try to talk with the child like the above posters said and see if what she says makes sense.
On the other hand, I also have had a foster child who would make up stories so she could be the center of attention. This child went to school and told the school SW that I wasn't feeding her and that she was forced to go hungry all the time. This of course was completly untrue as my kitchen has an open door policy. My kids can eat what they want, when they want, within reason of course. This same child also called her bio-family and made up stories about how we were abusing her, how we locked her in her room 24/7, how she had to sneak out in the middle of the night to get food ect ect.
Like I said, its a tough call. You don't NOT want to believe them but on the same hand you need to be aware that these kids do make this stuff up to get attention. The child you are speaking about may indeed love to see your daughter get all wriled up and so every story she tells gets alittle more crazy. Is the child telling other people these same stories or just you daughter?
