Not sure if there are any foster carers here any more, but I'm hoping there may be.
I know someone who has two children in her care, who were both molested by family members, which is how they came to be in care. This person broke up from a long term partner a while ago. She has recently met someone else and has been posting pictures on fb of this man with his arm around one of the young girls, and his face up against hers. She looks quite uncomfortable.
Isn't it part of dept rules that such physical contact is not really allowed? Especially from someone who is barely known to the foster mother, let alone the kids. This man is throwing money at the foster mother, and she appears to be forgetting good judgement in return. In fact, she is behaving much like a schoolgirl. I'm not sure how to suggest she take care with this, and was hoping that if there were definite dept rules about this sort of thing, that that would be a good starting point. Any foster carers, or former ones,about who could help? Thanks.
