Of course we should never put children at risk and there are horror stories from decades past of abuse in caregiving facilities that no one wants to see repeated. Is it right though to starve them of the love they need so much? You can't blame the staff whatsoever for protecting themselves.

You would see them get placed in foster homes because they would disappear to go live in a new area, only to return to the school again months later because they had been sent back to the home. It was very sad. Growing up is hard enough. The high school I went to had a children’s home in its catchment area and we had kids from there.

More and more people need to be sensitized regarding the issue of children who do not have parents to care for them, nobody to love them... they deserve the love and care from each one of us as much as possible.

People should be educated about the condition of children under foster care so that they have a feeling to take good care of them and make them feel at-home...
