[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 55923"] Like every other story you read in the papers, there are always other sides. And of course, the object is not to report the news, but to sell papers. As a foster parent, I am appalled by this type of behavior. One of the children I adopted has mental deficiencies, knew it before we did it. And knew it would be a lifetime decision. And now 18 years down the road, it still was the right thing to do, although it has been a bit trying at times. At no time was that type of behavior ever considered. But then again, there were the two teenage girls that hated each other and would not have anything to do with each other, until they spent the whole weekend with the right hand of each handcuffed to the other. That might have been considered cruel, but it worked. Nothing like having to work together to do anything. And having them face the opposite direction the whole weekend made them do that. For years they have joked about it when we have our family get togethers. And they were deep friends until one was killed when she did not wear her seatbelt and hit a tree. She and I were at her bedside the whole week until she died. Being a foster parent is a thankless job, and you have to control the situation by the seat of your pants. And sometimes foster parents go overboard when they have difficult children to deal with. But in no instance do they ever allow more than 6 children in a home at one time, at least in this state, unless there is a large group of siblings to place. d [/QUOTE]
