Do you think that every adult above the age of say 30, should be drafted to care for a foster child?
Find answers to your legal question.





Do you think that every adult above the age of say 30, should be drafted to care for a foster child?

This would be their patriotic duty.

I think it would be a sure way to screw up a bunch of foster children.
Not everyone is qualified to be a foster parent.
Not everyone is qualified to be a birth parent, either.
Not everyone is qualified to be in the military either!

Absolutely not. Do you think that every person over the age of 30 would be an appropriate parental figure in a child's life?

I don't think every adult above 30 should be responsible for a child .. many can't be responsbile for themselves.


jesse
no, some people don't want to be parents,lack money and education to take care of kids and some may be unfit (perhaps abusive)


monkeykitty83
No, definitely not. Many people simply aren't suited for it.

Putting an already vulnerable and hurt child into a home where they aren't wanted or where the foster parents are unable to meet their needs would only cause more harm.

No because not all adults are fit to be parents and some simply don't have the desire to be parents.

What she said. The incompetent parent number would drastically increase.

no.. I know many adults above the age of 30 who are not fit to take care of any children.

Why should adult in their 50's-60's and up be expected to care for a child also?


★★pixie★★
No, I don't think every adult over the age of 30 could financially or emotionally take care of a foster child. I don't think it is thier patriotic duty, it should be a choice if someone wants to have kids it should not be forced upon them, that does not seem patriotic at all.

what nonsense are you speaking?


elaeblue
NO, No, no --- those who do not want children should never be forced to take them in like that- it is NOT in the best interest of any child.


Lola
Hell No. I don't even know if I want to have my own kids let alone someone elses. How is someones mistake MY patriotic duty?

HECK NO
It takes a special person to foster and or adopt and do it correctly and with the right intentions. Not everyone can or should. For one some people really can't deal with kids that aren't theirs and should have to. Two not everyone can afford to raise kids correctly. I could go on for days
It is just not a good idea


boo6509
You are kidding me right? "DRAFTED" hell lady, there are people in this world that can't even take care of themselves much less another human being. With all the unstability in the world WHY wold you wish throwing a child into that situation?


cruzgirlz3
No, what a disaster that would be. Poor kids.

No, that is crazy! DO you know what would happen to those poor children if they were put in a home with horrible foster parents that didn't want them?


rebeccakost
No, It is your choice if you want to raise a child and doing this would go agains our rights of what we want to do.

Goodness no. Have you seen some of the weirdos in our world? I wouldn't trust a lot of people with a pet fish, let alone a human child.


Don't cha?
Depends. If a person is over 30 and has no kids, chances are, they don't want them. However, there is that small percentage that wants them and can't have them but doesn't want to be thrown into parenthood by fostering a teenager. I would gladly take in a child that needed a home as long as he was respectful and acted like he had some sense. I can't have kids but don't want to try and take care of someone who is so messed up by what he has been through that I get traumatized by it. Or vise versa--some 30 year olds are not able to take care of themselves--let alone a kid--so it can't be all like "wow--you are 30, here is a 12 year old that has been molested and beat. He/She is your responsibility now".

Pedophiles everywhere are dancing a jig of glee.


mommy2squee
Not just no but H@LL NO!

There are too many people out there who are simply not stable enough to raise a child, never mind the occasional psychopath, sociopath or pedophile.......

Oh my. No. Half the people in the world can barely care for themselves, let alone children.

Children need stability, caring, love, acceptance, boundaries, education, etc, etc. And foster kids NEED MORE of it, because they come from their original families that were filled with abuse and neglect.

People that want to raise foster kids NEED to be want to, not drafted to. The kids already feel unwanted etc. If it were a requirement, the kids would feel like no-one really cared, because it was a "law" that someone had to care for them.

Foster care NEEDS reform. But that is not the way to do it.

No, because the 30 y/o down the street from me has 4 kids already and is in and out of rehab every other month. An extra state paycheck to her, would mean getting their fathers to watch them more while she went out and got high again.

Nice hat. ;)


lil_blueyed_crab
No I do not think it should be a law... foster care is a whole lot harder than just making sure the child is feed, clothed and has a warm safe place to live.. not so much the kids they cant help from were they came from or how they was treated in their homes but the case workers and the state itself that made it hard for us to continue our Foster parenting.. which I loved

and I do think that the case workers should be drafted to take care of a foster child as part of their training

NO. Your question deserves no more of an answer.


dixie58
NO WAY!!! too many people are unfit to raise children as it is perfect example that murdering winch in Florida Casey Anthony who killed her own 2 year old daughter cause she interfered with her partying,drinking,doing drugs and w ho ring around!!
do you know how many child molesters and rapist are out there??
or people who use drugs and booze on a regular basis??? or who beat and abuse children??? many are not fit enough to care for a goldfish let alone a human being!!!
so sorry it is just a awful idea!!! good luck your heart is in the right place though,keep thinking maybe you can come up with a better idea
