Why is it that when a foster child reports allegation, they go ignored or unsubstantiated. Yet a child reports their bio family and it’s eminent danger and they have to get them out now.
The reason is simple when the complaint comes in about a foster child that can’t get out because they’re supposed to be the pros the ones that are gonna save the world. The truth is CPS is a billion dollar for profit industry. The need their foster homes to stay open because they don’t get paid to leave children in their home and work with the whole family to bring some piece back into the home. They only get paid for kids in foster homes and if they can coerce the foster parent to adopt that child big bonus. Not to adopt them out to just anyone the only way to get that bonus is to get those foster parent to adopt that foster child that’s in their home. The quantity has to keep growing if they removed 100 kids this yr next yr they have to double that or lose their title 4E Federal Funding. So they have to keep their inventory up. The way they do that is by taking mainly minorities or poor children, however when the inventory starts to get low they are not afraid to take a middle or upper class child to get that inventory. They will lie cheat and steal to get those bonuses. They say the rise in Fostercare is do to the rise in drug addiction that is a bald face lie. Sure drugs are going to be around however those babies used to go to a member of the family til the parent got it together. However that doesn’t give them inventory so they lie to the court and say they looked into the family and none were available. Remember this you can always tell when a social worker is lying? When their lips are moving. My sister wanted all 4 of my grandchildren had a clean background very religious didn’t need financial assistance they told her no because the plan is to reunify she said great I can just take them until then. Judge Jerilyn Dietz looked at her in her face and said I’m not gonna overturn my own order. The following week she overturned her own order and placed the children for adoption to wait for it yes their foster parents.
Allegations Happen: How to Prevent and Survive Them

from Spring 2002 Adoptalk by Diane Martin-Hushman
“It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me,” said one parent about the time her foster daughter filed an abuse allegation against her. Most often false, allegations of abuse against parents who foster and adopt children with special needs are frighteningly common. When parenting these special children, it is in our best interest to prevent situations that could be construed as inappropriate, and seek out help when an allegation disrupts our lives.
Whether false or confirmed, allegations arise for different reasons. We hope that children who are abused by their caregivers will notify a teacher, social worker, or someone else in authority. But sometimes children whose backgrounds include abuse are highly sensitized to triggers that they associate with abuse. You may just be leading a child to a time out after he kicks his sister; but the instant you grab his arm, your foster son may flash back to times when he was dragged to a room and whipped with his birth father’s belt. As children age through the foster care system, and grow in street wisdom and anger, many also learn that allegations are a ticket out of a placement, a means of getting attention, and a way to keep parents who are starting to get too close a safe distance away.
