In response to Abbies' article, I was very shocked to have read all the negativity that Texas is doing with these children. No child should feel neglected especially in foster care department. The lack of supervision is what worries me because anything can happen with them. Texas should hire more Social workers so they can give these children all of the attention they deserve. Honestly, I had no idea that this was happening. No wonder there are many crimes happening because they end up being people that had run away from a foster home because they feel so confuse and alone. They must not treat them well.
Texas should also built more spaces for these children and more funds should be used for this situation. All of the article makes me sick to my stomach. I am a mother of a beautiful four year old and she needs me like if there is no tomorrow and the thought of a lonely neglected child makes me sad. Children are the future. Being mentally ill or addicted to some substance isn't fair for them. It all starts on the environment they are surrounded by.
I totally agree with Abbie, she mentioned that the percentage of children in foster care are getting higher and that Texas needs to combat this before the percentage becomes higher. There is nothing else to add to this because she has said it all. Good job on the research.
