foster parenting horror stories

In some horror stories, foster parents have been found to be involved in illegal activities and use the foster kids as a cover. For instance, they might be involved in drug dealing and force the kids to keep quiet about it. The kids are put in an extremely dangerous situation, not only because of the illegal activities around them but also because they are often too scared to tell anyone what's going on.

Sure. There are stories where foster parents physically abuse the children. They might hit the kids with belts or other objects for no good reason. It's a horrible situation as these children have no one to turn to immediately. Another form of abuse is emotional. Some foster parents constantly put the kids down, telling them they are worthless and no one will ever love them. This can have a long - term negative impact on the children's mental health.

Love is a key element. In all the success stories, the foster parents showed unconditional love to the children. It made the children feel secure and valued.
