Why do Parents Get sp many chances to change before there child is taken away and put into Foster Care?

Ask a child who's been in and out of several foster homes!!!! Ask a child who feels like no one loves or wants them after spending time in foster care!!!! Ask a child who's released from foster care at 18 with no skills, no home, and no support system. Talk to parents who have been accused unjustly of some sort of child abuse because of someone else anger??? It happen to me and if I hadn't had a daughter who was almost 18 at the time and who could set them straight my 5 year old would have been taken from me. At the time my daughter was in school, in girls scouts, in therapy and none of these mandated reporters called social service someone who was angry with me did. Why was the person angry with me?? Because I wouldn't allow her to bring drugs into my house. You have to be really sure that the child is being abused and neglected purposely by the parent. In cases of proven neglect and abuse the child is removed and the agency works with the parents to regain custody of the child. There are times when its' evident that the parents don't really want to regain custody of the child/children. There are times when addiction has taken over the person's life and it's not in the best interest of the child to be reunited with their parents, but in the majority of the cases the parents are in trouble and just need some help getting their lives back together. And in a lot of case's its' a case of false accusations.

Their goal is to keep the family together whenever possible. Not rip kids out and put them with strangers. By chances you mean services?? They do have to follow criteria and sometimes just need tools to help them be a better parent.
