The Children Unsafe In Their Homes: Life Looks Like This

We hear that having children is such a positive thing to do and everyone should have children, according to some people. And yet every year hundreds of thousands of children are removed from their family homes because they are in danger. 

This video - ReMoved - is the account of what it is like from the child's point of view. This shows the journey of a young girl removed from her home and a succession of foster homes and relates what that feels like for her. 

In the US almost 400,000 children are living outside of their own home.

In Australia  "The number of children who have been removed from their parents because they can't live safely at home has increased by 27 per cent over the last five years, so nearly 40,000 children" according to a report on ABC Lateline program. 

Forty percent of them are under 5 years old. 

That's a lot of parents who are struggling.  A lot of children suffering. 

Perhaps we know some people who are like this and at the end of their rope.


I wonder how we can help those parents and those children have a better life.
