Kids Left Home Alone

The sad truth, carolbee, is that there are not enough decent foster home situations in which to place many of these children, so the kids are returned to their unfit parents on the premise that they are better off being abused at home than elsewhere. There is no method to this madness, and I don't see a fix coming any time soon.

i do feel bad when i hear such stories or cases,first of all there is no proper system and no measures r been taken to fix it which is really sick,anyways carolbee its very nice of u to put up such discussions,will remain in touch with u

At the very least they should make her get her tubes tied, or her eggs removed, something so that she cannot have anymore kids that she OBVIOUSLY doesn't care about! I can barely stand to leave my kid with someone else, i worry about what can happen while i'm not there even though she is in capable hands, i still think of all the what if's! What in the world are these moms thinking about when they leave their kids home. Do they not think at all i wonder?!

It would seem that they should be removed. However the question also comes back to, is that what's really best. While on the surface, the answer is yes. Deep down it gets more complicated. Sure this mom left her kids at home and at least in some ways isn't fit as a mother, but the foster care system is an awful one. Are they really better off with that, then with a mother who left them at home?

the state has to come forward and do something.. obviously she was arrested for the reason of neglect.. and yes the kids should be taken from the home

no, kids have their haveevery parents must have a responsibility to their kids, before they have kids, i sm sure they have commitment to protect and care their kids as strong as they can, here we just give advice to the parents to remember their commitment,
