Yep and the proof in that pudding is in the condition we receive our children in at contact visits and the amount of developmental delays that appear in infants.

DoCS will never own it though.

There is always somebody else whom they can blame.

Foster carers are managed by other agencies, so it's those agencies who wear the blame for whatever has occurred to the child in care.

As for delays, social issues and emotional problems that arise in children in care - the parents get blamed for that.

DoCS won't own the fact that THEY caused the problems by putting such young children into the care of strangers - but they won't return the child until the problem is fixed.
