It is about the money (Story from Sweden)

10/9/2011

A minority of foster families in a lot of money do it because they want to help children in need, but for most it is a way to finance their lives.

When the authorities then lower the income of the foster families for one reason or another, they simply choose to stop working as foster parents robbing the foster child the only safe home they might have known.

One of these children was Niklas which at the time where the article was written was only 10 years old. A divorce between the foster parents resulted in him being send to the school one day with the message that he shouldn't expect to return and that was it.

All his life has he been living at this foster family and suddenly he only had the clothes he wore and his schoolbooks. We cannot even start to imagine how he felt that day about where he should go once the school ended.

Does it sound like a foster care system which works? No exactly!
