Some local children have just been put into care of foster parents. Which, in its self is a sad thing to happen. To be taken away from your parents must be very traumatic and distressing.
But not always.
Apparently, when asked how they got on on their first night away from their mum. Their eyes lit up as they explained that they had a cup of tea at tea time, no in fact they had 2 cups. Then they had sausages,
mash and baked beans for tea followed by a yogurt for pudding. They went shopping in ASDA for new clothes....for the first time. They had a bath. They had clean beds to sleep in.
Little things most children would take for granted.
If you could have seen the smiles on their clean little faces it would have broken your heart too.

It's sad but true, some mothers shouldn't have been mothers at all.
ReplyDeleteJust because you give birth - you don't have to be a mother. I'm glad to hear these kids are safe and happy!

That's so sad! It's awful that kids have to be so ignored and neglected. At least now they're warm and happy and well fed. People forget too easily that this happens every day. Too many forgotten and ignored children.
ReplyDeleteGosh, how awful. Fingers crossed they have a better life from now on.
ReplyDeleteThat's really upsetting but also the best thing to ever happen to them....bless their little hearts.
ReplyDeleteI just hope they get good loving care from now on wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't deserve to be parents...it is a big decision to make and some people I think just do it for the sake of it and don't think about the responsibility and love and care that needs to be put in...some people are too selfish...poor little mites...at least they're being taken care of well now...xxx
ReplyDeleteThis never fails to make me cry. I've seen so many children taken from their parents. They start getting to school on time, they stay awake in class, they are clean and have PE kit, they fill out from the decent diet. They thrive. Sometimes there's a happy ending but so often they go back to their parents and the neglect starts again. I've met so many wonderful children that I long to take home with me.
