Fostering

[Swinkid]

Literly, A very close (To make streight, my girlfriend) friend of mine is getting Abused (not sexualy, as in hitting etc..) By parents, and if the worst comes to the worst may be put up to get fosterd.
My parents have agreed with me that we would foster her - but if the authorities do get involved, are we able to "Voulenteer" to foster her in paticular.
Reason being, i will never see her again if she gets fosterd by someone else, and i dont want that to happen.

I hope so too - Although, getting her to live with me so her parents wnt get at her would be a result, however, if ur able to, please can you awnser my original post.

I would just say give it your best shot... try foster her if it does lead to that. Just dont give up, keep on fighting is all I can say really. If you love her then go for it, nothing more powerful than love.

Your lucky you've got understanding parents. But what if you split up... will you regret it?

We've been together two years already, and no i wouldn't regret it, im satisfied by helping someone out.

Fostering isn't the first option, maybe only in really serious situations . The social will find out what is really going on, her parents will get counseling and she will also be offererd counseling to start off with.

I Relise this, But her mother is a Prison officer and i would think that her mum would not do this, however i have seen my girlfriend get hit countless of times by her mum,a ll leaving with some kind of mark.
And what makes me sad is that, if she spoke to someone about how her mum is treating her, it would result in her getting hit again.
What i would like to know - is are we able to foster her if she did get put up, before she gets offerd to someone else, kinda volenteering, if you catch my drift. :S

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.
