Foster Care

Often people assume that after having an unwanted child, one can give it up for adoption. Foster care is also an option for most of these parents. Often they abuse the child, and that child has to be raised through the foster care system as the parent isn’t fit to take care of the child. This often means that they will be living with strangers, these children are put in a great amount of danger by placing them in the care of a stranger. They are often abused sexually, physically and emotionally. These children do not have anyone that will be there for them, or that will take care of them. They do not have someone they can trust so it’s often that they abuse substances to feel better about their situation. This becomes a coping mechanism for them. This goes unnoticed since these children do not have a permanent home, and someone that often checks up on them and their health.
