We have as many of you know been long term fostering for a while, even though we started with little angels, then graduated to long term which is what we do now.
Recently, we were asked to look after a couple of teenies. Being asked to take on new placements came as a bit of a surprise for reasons you can research for yourselves
But anyway we were asked a couple of times over the last few weeks to take various little teenage angels mainly I suspect because this is the group that costs real money to accommodate and every week we could contain a child would save the agency a couple of thousand pounds.
You will recall L who arrived here in a blaze of publicity, we were expecting Rambo and got Rupert the bear.
He was a complex young man but nothing like what his records said.
Well today it looks as if we are going to scoop the pool, all things equal and we get I. They have been pushing us for a few weeks to take him, he came into care on Friday and promptly set about redeveloping the carers house. This is not some dewy eyed newby this is a carer with 20 years experience who claims never to have seen the like of this before.
There have been a number of previous carers who seem to have been overwhelmed by the behaviour.
Could be an interesting few weeks then.
Watch this space.
