I have just heard on the news about a baby who was placed in FC from birth, then returned to Mum, only to be killed by her 4 months later.
I know a little of how those FCs feel, it happened to us years ago, though we weren't told that the baby who made the news was the one we had cared for, and babe was only here for a very short time.
I don't blame the SWs, more the assessment and legal system. |

I have a number of friends who have had children returned to them after courts sent them home and they come back in brusied and battered. that's hard enough, cant even imagine how i'd feel if a child actually died. was hard enough when current bubs came back clearly damaged by his experience even if not actually physically harmed. very sad though.

This is my biggest fear too.
Part of me screams HOW can this happen?? Yet a bigger part of me knows only too well just how easily it can.
With the huge cuts to social services there simply aren't enough "eyes" to go around. I hope this shameful government sleep a little less well in their comfortable warm beds (if they are even told about yet another child death) but doubt they would even really care.
Huge hugs to you Imp xxx

Awful. It's brought back memories of one of my foster children. A teenager I fostered was told she had to return home. I am convinced that one of the deciding factors in returning her to her parents was the budget. I had a visit from the police a while afterwards because she had 'disappeared'. She was not where her parents claimed she was. The police were convinced that her family had murdered her but had no proof.
I'll never forget her - she was bright, funny and intelligent. :-(
