Larry-
you are absolutly correct. I have been beat up by a six year old. She gets into her frenzy fits and she swings and kicks. She has hit me and kicked me coutless times. she even took a swing at her teacher. tell me she doesnt have issues. I told the social workers and they have done nothing about it. I told her therapist and she said quote" it doesnt happen every day so I am not sure there is a problem" WHAT? There is NO excuse for this behavior. Bio mom is told and nothing. I cant do anything about so she continues to be reenforced that this behavior is ok. All i can do is time out and take away privilages. BULL...I promise if you were to hit me I would hit you back. This kids have no punishment. WE had a foster kid be arrested and they took her out of our home at 10pm and by midnight they found her another home. Where was the punishment and what lessoned was learned there? I am not sure there is anything your dad can do. Stop taking those kids of kids I guess.
My husband said he wanted me to wear a suit of armour. But the system doesnt punish these kids EVER! and the ones that dont need to be punished are the ones suffering. THe kids in my house have no reason to act like that. We make sure they want for nothing and that they have safe and loving home. but I surely cant stand when the ugly kids dominate the not ugly kids. Its an issue we struggle with all the time.
Tell your dad to talk to his agency. he could call his congressman too. I figure the more of us that make them aware of the problems we face the more likely they will be to do something about it.
