  1. Its a pity Social Services wont keep Families together in this country, with adequate supervision.
    They would rather use Foster Carers,paying them up to £5oo per child per week, costing the taxpayers millions of pounds.

    $500/week? Yeah right! Where do you live?? Its $100 a week per child.. and how much do you think they would pay to provide this "supervision" you speak of?? The children in Foster care are there because they NEED to be there.. no amount of supervision will stop a parent from beating their child, neglecting them, starving them.. Foster care is a wonderful thing for a family to do for the community, and its because of people like you, who don't have your facts straight, that we get such a lousy reputation..
