What is the history behind Foster care?
All started in 1636 Benjamin Eaton became the first Foster care child. A lot of immigrant children were sleeping in the streets of New york. And Charles Loring Brace began the foster care home movement. In the 1900s, social agencies began to supervise foster parents and they created a record for the parents for the way of placement. A world that caught my attention was “The orphan train movements” I have not heard of this historical concept this is my first time listening. This system consists of the period from 1853 to 1929 that they were transferred from urban cities to the east of the country. Some of these children were excessively exploited working on the farms where they lived. It is a well-argumentative issue but it was something that happened many years ago and it cannot be judged by the treatment they gave the children because they looked for a solution so that they would not have to starve in the streets. But another point of the video I was watching is that “there is a 4 million report of child maltreatment in the united states” this is important because many years have passed since we have the same problem and we have not solved it. the government has to make sure that the place where they leave these children is safe.
