Fostering

[Swinkid]

I can't help you on the matter of fostering sorry, but anyway I imagine you find it difficult as well not being able to help her, it may seem as if everyone is powerless although this is not the case. You need to push for help as soon as you can by contacting the relevant authorities. If it does come to fostering, and even if you don't see her again (Which is probably unlikely) you can atleast be satisfied in knowing she's in a much better home, I personally would see that as the priority rather than fostering her.

If she's old enough I imagine she could just run away and move in with you for the time being, there's not all that much the law can do to stop that and it could make her parents realise what's happened etc.

What do you mean "Highly unlikely not seeing her." My friend's ex never saw each other since she got with her foster parents.

And running away moving with me? I don't see that happening - her parents would hit her again when she comes back, and even then i would defently not see her again.

I've been Fostered for over 11years and it was for the very same reason well close enough ... Just to say fostering has changed my life for the better and never ever regret it... So i think your family should take her on I'm sure she would really appreciate it
Hope this helped .

If your parents foster her, and shes your girlfriend wouldnt that kinda make you her brother? or is that wrong

No, That would be adopting. Fostering is where you look after them.. There not related to you..

Might become a little awkward though, being a couple and living in the same house with your parents.
But I hope it does work out =D

My family are foster carers and it sucks but I dislike my foster brothers so...

But yeah, it won't be easy process and you can't just foster one person. Social Services will ask to take on others even if it is just for day care. It's a big responsibility and not only that, it takes a long time too. You have interviews, house checks, police checks, it has to go to panel. And with her parents knowing who you are, they might feel she would still be at risk at your house because she'll still go same school and everything.

The fact that you're her boyfriend may not go in your favour either tbh.

Usually when a kid is being neglected/ abused or watever and needs to be taken out of a parents care then they can go live with another family member or a family friend or something.
it depends, i got taken off my mam, lived with my nan for a bit and she couldnt handle it and was put in foster care for around 6 months, then my auntie agreed i could live with her and the social workers decided it was what best
every situation is different and therefore judged differently.
if shes being abused then she needs to tell somebody, a teacher at school is quite good, my little sister told her school teacher my mam was usless and stuff and next thing u no i was being taken out of school along with my little brother and siter so they do take things like this seriously.

If she does end up being fostered make sure you have alerted the right people before, I wouldn't like to see her go to a different family. I feel she'd do well at your home

Good luck to whatever happens and hopefully her parents can sort themselves out.
