It gets pretty interesting sometimes. People such as the Penns step in as temporary guardians in the hope that a child eventually will be reunited with his or her family. Temporary, though, can mean two or more years. The decision to remove a child from a home is not made lightly, said John Saros, director of Franklin County Children Services. I don't care how bad you are as a human being, your kids are probably going to be our worst witness.
Kids are really afraid of the unknown.
They know what to expect at home, but they have no idea what to expect in foster care. More seem to be finding out every day. The times and the numbers of children entering foster care in recent years have strained the system unexpectedly. Foster care today is doing a lot of things it wasn't intended to do. We end up oftentimes with children having a bad experience in foster care who never should have been referred.
