What do I do if my foster parents beat me?

Answer 1

If you are experiencing abuse or neglect from your foster parents, it is important to seek help immediately. Here are a few steps you can take:

1. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

2. Tell a trusted adult, such as a teacher, coach, or another family member. They are required to report any suspected abuse.

3. Contact your social worker or the agency responsible for your placement immediately. They will be able to investigate and provide you with the necessary support and resources.

4. If you do not feel comfortable reaching out to any of these resources, you can call the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453 or contact the National Foster Parent Association at [phone].

Remember, you are not alone and there are people who are here to support you.

Answer 4

"According to the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, 3 million new reports of child neglect or abuse were made in 1993, one report every 10 seconds. The recent National Incidence Survey III conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services found that fully 72% of all reports received by CPS, or 2,160,000 reports of abuse or neglect, were never investigated by CPS. 1993 records from Children’s Protective Services (“CPS”) show that almost half of all children who were confirmed as abused or neglected did not receive any follow-up assistance from CPS.

Of those cases reported, an estimated 1,299 children died from abuse or neglect. 90% of those children were age 5 or younger. And, 42% of the children who died had been previously reported to CPS as being in danger."
