Yes there are some still missing in Florida. I just know that my ex was abused groing up in a foster home. It led to him having very poor relationship skills (part of the reason I am divorced). It is not only the foster parents but a lot of the kids have some issues. My baby sitter growing up was a foster parent and she lost he license because the son she adopted molested 2 of the boys she had.

I know ppl who did it just for the check. You have to have more than space in your home and heart, but take the time to get the kids psych help. There was an older couple here who fostered a preteen who a couple years later killed his foster mom. I was kind of surprised because they were a black family. Black kids are less likely to kill their parents. My daughter went to school with two kids who were dating, the girls mom did not like her bf. She plotted for him to kill her mom so they could get the ins. money and live in the house together. He stabbed her brother to where he was in the hospital for awhile. Mom was unharmed. The kids got “Life”. (black family).

You could be right but he abuse in the foster care system is covered up. One story I remember a lot is that of Rilya(sp) Wilson in Cleveland. The case worker had not shown up to see her in a year. She is still missing.

The percentage of abuse by foster kids is 12/1000 but that is of those who report it and also share a data base. Also aren’t there still some kids missing from the System in Flordia?
