Foster Care – What children are placed in Foster Care?
Children who are placed in Foster Care have been removed from their home by the Department of Social Services because a juvenile court judge and a social worker thought the children were not safe at home. These children have been abused, neglected, and/or children that fall under the dependency definition. A Judge through the recommendation of the children’s Juvenile Court Counselor can also place children in foster care. These children have been adjudicated delinquent and/or undisciplined and are not following the court’s order. Their parents are either unwilling and/or unable to make them follow the court’s order.
