I find it a crime that social services withholds information about the history of the children they are placing. I hear so many stories of this, and I live this story every day. When I began this journey, I truly thought that social services was there to help the children. I no longer believe that. Their interest is in obtaining placements. And we unsuspecting parents are left holding the bag.
OK, that my vent.
I do believe that victims have the right to know what is happening with their perpetrator. Society thinks "oh, they are only children", or "they are only doing what was done to them", or "they can be rehabilitated". Well, yes, yes, and yes to all of the above, in some cases. But until you live with one of these children, you can't imagine the pathology of their minds. They have no conscience. They have no cause and effect thinking. That cannot be rehabilitated.
I agree that children should have rights, however, what about the victums? What about the parents of the child. What about the siblings of the child. They were abused. Do they not have rights?
These children commit adult crimes. Their victims deserve to know what is happening.
