they probably go to a more well off family that can afford to fix smashed windows
my old neighbours used to foster and when i met the lads at about 6 they were gone, proper fucked up, now 20 odd yrs later they are properly adjusted people, ones got a family and the others in the navy as an officer.
it probably took about 5 or 6 yrs to bring them back to normal and i can honestly say i doubt they would of if theyd been placed with a different family
everything has to fit for it to work, ive looked at doing it and have a few mates that do already foster but all the bullshit from the government / courts etc has put me off it (plus a baby on the way).
a change in child protection and rights is well needed and some simple rules instead of all the crap with anything nowadays and youd see a massive rise in foster carers
