Foster Home Abuse

I have a very lengthy story to tell but will be very short about this to see if there is anyway you can help me. I have a 15 year old daughter who is in foster care through The Farm Inc. She has been there for several months and I have been trying to get her to come home. There was no abuse or anything of that sort as to why she is in foster care, she is in there to ''prove a point'' to her. Since she has been in foster care she has gotten progressively worse. She has learned more bad habits than she ever knew. She has been moved from home to home, most with less supervision than she has EVER had here at her own home!

Re: Foster Home Abuse

You are correct. Your situation is a lengthy one, that does not express well in this limited format. I did not get your entire message, but I heard enough to know that you need to obtain an attorney in your area to go over your situation with you. We do not know under what circumstances (or what charges against you) that she was placed into foster care. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible to tell you what it would take to get her out of teh system.

Good Luck
