It's incredibly traumatic for kids to be separated from their parents and it's almost inevitable that kids who spend any extended period of time in the foster care system end up damaged long term by the experience.
Kudos for helping  . The best thing you could do for the kids is to try to help the parents turn things around. |
Well said. Especially the Kudos part. That really says something about the person you are Cam. I would suggest a heart to heart with the parents where you tell them if you see it get like that again you'll turn them in yourself. You need to pop in now and again IMO. This might be enough of a scare for them that they make the necessary changes though.
5 kids those ages is a tough thing to deal with for anyone. I don't envy them.
