notes:
L:
- When the government believes that children are being abused or neglected and cannot safely live with their families, it asks a Family Court judge to place the children in foster care.
- Foster care is designed to be temporary.
- When the system works properly, social workers help parents resolve the problem that brought their children into foster care and the children can go home.
- The judge will also decide whether the child can go home to his parents, stay in foster care or leave foster care to live with relatives or in an adoptive home.
- Extended Family Care- This means that the relative has the responsibility to care for the child and has the authority to make important decisions about the child.
I:
- If the child is been abuse or neglected the social workers have the right to take them to a foster care agency.
- Social workers decide if they will be in foster care temporary, either they go back to their biological parents depending on the case, or they will get adopted by a new family.
- After putting the child in foster care social workers have to deal with the reason why they got their and work with their biological parents and see if the child can go back or not.
- only the judge gets to decide if the child will go back home or go to a new home, they will have court and both the child and the parents have to have their own lawyers. During the court they will determine if the child has been abuse or neglected by their parents.
- Before they put the child in adoption they ask any relatives of the child if they want to take care of them and treat them like their child.
