I would just like to say that I have been researching the internet for any website that focuses on the rights of foster parents and not just the kids. MY Father has been a foster parent for approx 11 years and we have seen many kids come and go. He is one of the foster parents that truly wants to make a diffrence in the kids lives and provide a safe and loving home for them. He has adopted two boys and is in the process of adopting another. What I have a problem with is the fact that these kids come into his home with the attitude that they can do whatever they want to eather him or his home and he has no rights or way to disapline theses kids. He has been mentally and phycialy abused over the years by some of the boys, when he has been attacked and beat up he cant defend himself, if they steal from him or another child he cant confront the one who did it. My kids have had things at his house and had them disapear and then found in the possession of the kids and nothing can be said because it violates their civil rights. They cuss and yell and outright disobey him and he can not disapline them in anyway. He has to TALK to them, well that only goes so far and it just dosent work to well. He has been threatined with false allegations, hes been told "well I will just tell my social worker your abusing me" when there is no abuse going on. He has had the childrens rights shoved down his throat and not one person has stood up and givin him his rights. Ive read about complaints that the foster care is sooooo short of parents and the rates have dropped, well no wonder. who wants to deal with this, these kids instead of being open and gratefull to have a person that really cares they are disrespectfull and ugly, what would happen if all foster parents went on strike, where would these kids go? The state and the agencys should be working not only for the kids but for the parents. I know for a fact that i could never be a foster parent because it would be compleatly unfair to have another child in the house with my own that gets to live under a diffrent set of rules than my own. Im not saying that any kind of abuse should occure but there should be reprocussions when they steal or be disrespectfull or attack anyone. These kids know what they can do and the agencys or state allows it and then when they get into some trouble its alll the foster parents falt. Please someone help me to get more information so I can pass it on to my dad. I worry about him alot because he is basicly at the mercy of these kids sometimes and has nobody to stand up for him.
