The most wide known negative attribute to a foster care system is the abuse towards the foster kids. Day to day these kids are being abused mentally and experience traumatic events throughout their time within the system. Studies within the US have shown the impacts of foster care on the kids themselves and even how epidemics in the US impact the foster care system and the outcome of the kids themselves.]]> 2018-12-17 17:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315266507 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315273816 2018-12-17 17:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315273816 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315273951 2018-12-17 17:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315273951 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315274068 2018-12-17 17:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315274068 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315913991 According to Linda K. Smith, a graduate from the University of Montana and also with history of years being put forth into childhood development, states, "While research on the impacts of NAS is just beginning, the importance of a child’s first year of life cannot be overstated. Research is clear on infant brain development: the brain develops at a considerable rate during the first several years of life, with each second producing more than a million neural connections. And during this period — as well as during the prenatal period — environmental factors strongly influence both an infant’s brain development and their social-emotional regulation."]]> 2018-12-19 16:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/315913991 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316046052 2018-12-19 23:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316046052 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316046072 2018-12-19 23:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316046072 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316051689 In stating this, Smith is trying to inform the public of the opioid epidemic that is causing infants in early stages to have mental disorders such as down syndrome. Smith explains that the early stages of a youth's mind has not even developed so when these pregnant women are taking these harmful drugs they are causing great casualties to the infant. In these cases the infant goes into the foster care system and is then in a lifelong line of being over medicated and not having a home due to the actions the mother took. ]]> 2018-12-20 00:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316051689 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052010 NASCAW, a group conducted of many university professors, expresses, "Those who experienced sexual abuse were the most likely to also experience other forms of maltreatment. Nearly two-thirds of those experiencing sexual abuse were not adequately supervised, one-third were also physically abused, and over one-fifth were not adequately provided for. "]]> 2018-12-20 00:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052010 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052026 Brittany Clark, a former foster child, "Only one of the boys was my biological brother. During my time in that home, I was physically and sexually manipulated. So many things went on there, but only my outbursts were reported to my social worker. I even was put in the home of a different member of that family so that the foster parent would continue getting paid."]]> 2018-12-20 00:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052026 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052036 As Clark shares her story, this relates to the ongoing problem of what foster kids have to go through. Through Clarks little piece of information you can see the physical abuse and that they continued to pay the family after she was moved with the same family but a different member. When an abuse report is filed the system will usually move the child but what has happened to them will not change. Sometimes it is more than once a child will actually have to move houses.]]> 2018-12-20 00:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052036 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052041 In stressing this, NASCAW has found out many details/facts from their studies including the physical abuse towards foster children. These facts found show that due to the foster child and their mental status these parents or anyone can now take advantage of these kids and they won't know any different. That is one thing that is a problem in america and all people do are abuse the system.]]> 2018-12-20 00:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052041 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052160 2018-12-20 00:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052160 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052186 2018-12-20 00:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052186 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052239 2018-12-20 00:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052239 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052366 2018-12-20 00:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052366 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052389 2018-12-20 00:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052389 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052427 2018-12-20 00:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052427 sr02997 https://padlet.com/sr02997/rbz69iw2akiy/wish/316052845 This topic is important because nothing has worked in the past to change the outcome of foster care and the child abuse within.
