Siblings in Care?

One of the things I’ve always found challenging, as a teacher working with at risk youth, beyond everything else, with the fact that sometimes I would encounter a student who is in care and have been separated from his brother or sister who is been sent somewhere else to live. They are already going through a lot but you have this further indignity thrust upon them was, and ears, truly heartbreaking. It seems bad enough that they are removed but then you separate them from their sibling and you remove that ever powerful support system. When we go back to residential schools, separating families was done to break us. This seems to be the continuation of that practice.

How is separating siblings supposed to improve their lives? It is bad enough that you remove them from their families and communities but then to break up the family further…

The link below is a research summary on the perils of separating siblings. There remains a lot to learn.

"Child Protection Agencies" are taking children away from their loving families.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

absolutely!
It shows that these so-called 'Child Protective Services' are not interested at all in the best interests of the child. Even if parents are not capable of raising their own children, that is no reason for siblings to not stay together. They even refuse to let siblings living separate to EVER see each other. These children lose their parents and their siblings.
