As much as we would like to believe it, kids are NOT adults. There are Children who grow up faster than other due to family situations, they're still kids.
I don't have any kids. However, I have 5 nephews and a niece, and I have made several dollars as a babysitter. I realize this hardly qualifies me as an expert. I do know that medicine designed for adults should NOT be given to children. Apparently, this foster parent hasn't figured that out.
As a result, the foster child she was raising is dead at the age of 6. What a sad, sad situation. Now the foster parent is facing murder charges, and no matter what state the child's biological parents are in (presuming they are alive) they now have lost a child.
Foster care is supposed to be a safe place for children. A place away from the danger that their parents present, not a place where they have to worry about more danger befalling them.
It makes me mad.
