Residential Care - Child Care

Child Care

Children may be removed from abusive or unfit homes by government action, or they may be placed in various types of out-of-home care by parents who are unable to care for them or their special needs. In most jurisdictions the child is removed from the home only as a last resort, for their own safety and well-being or the safety or others, since out-of-home care is regarded as very disruptive to the child.

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or care:

    The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed and educated till it attains years of discretion.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    General McLaidlaw: Lena will never marry. She’s not the marrying sort. I see no reason to worry. There’s enough to care for her for the rest of her life.
    Mrs. McLaidlaw: I suppose you’re right, dear. I’m afraid she is rather spinsterish.
    General McLaidlaw: What’s wrong with that. The old maid’s a respectable institution. All women are not alike. Lena has intellect and a fine solid character.
    Samson Raphaelson (1896–1983)
