My sister became a foster parent a few years ago in NHC. She had a teenage girl after 1 month (she had mental disorders) had a temper tantrum, destroyed the bedroom & threaten to kill herself. When she called on a weekend to DSS for assistance they told her to wait till Monday because there was no one to go to her home to help. She told them she was going to call the police, the girl was destroying property & was trying to commit suicide. The police & the ambulance removed the girl from her home & took her to the hospital for proper care, which is the right thing to do. She saved her life but DSS black balled her for this so she is unable to have children in her home again. Now tell me why is the system having problems finding foster parents.
