Child welfare services should create a better environment in foster care homes. Children face mental and physical trauma in foster homes every day, such as emotional distress, unstable mental health and environment, developmental delays, etc. High rates of trauma in children currently residing in foster care or who have been in foster care amount to “one-half to two-thirds”,” raises each day (Dorsey, Burns, Southerland, Cox, Wagner, and Farmer 871). A national social services policy on becoming a foster parent or child should focus on the individual's mental, emotional and physical state to reduce foster care abuse. Social services focus on removing children from abusive homes and hopping from one foster home or institution to another instead of focusing on rebuilding family support and solving the real problem. A child can be legally uprooted from their home due to multiple things. Primary guardian has a drug problem, housing being evicted, too many children in a group home, physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect of any child, incarceration, abandonment, truancy, death of primary guardian, voluntary placement, the child continues to commit juvenile crimes or run away. Almost the majority of the latter listed can prevail over custody. Instead of wasting another life in the failing foster care system, child welfare can create programs to promote children's rights. Foster parents easily pass criminal background checks, and state regulations and social services reject the idea of ​​checking their mental health or other things. Does this person earn enough?
