Kids in care part 1/2. Ben Westwood talks about his experience of social services

For those with rebellious teenagers...only the power of love will save us now. My perspective as a youngster in foster care and childrens homes. I havent had the greatest relationship with my mother the last few years, and we'v both made mistakes...but i think its important to forgive and work on it, especially in a family, and especially when someone is still growing up. As a rebbellious off the rails teenager (more than most)...i never really knew why i did half of the silly things i used to do, and i think adults should remember that. Especially if the child/teenager has been in anyway involved in domestic abuse or had a family bereavement. As adults we learn how to deal with these things but when your young you just dont know and i think a few adults forget that.

my cousin adopted two kids she was fostering - both at very young age, so they were lucky and taken out of the care cycle.

you have my utmost respect for this video.

Social services need to lo0k at the facts & what the children in the care system really need. Instead thy seem to make wronge judgement on placing children in the wronge the foster placements . Then children rebell more. It breaks down. then the child is damaged & un stablised. In the end if the child dosent get the right help & foster parents sought the child is put into a childs home. How can this help any child. Neglect & thats what social services do fail the children our children. M
