Why We Should Be Able To Return To Their Parents

Children in foster care should not be able to return to their parents who have committed a felony. It is unsafe for the child, the child is at risk to be singled out by other parents, and overall it is morally wrong. No child should every be able to return to their parent or parents if they are at risk in any shape or form. For a child to return to a parent or parents who have committed a felony is unsafe for the child. The parent may be mentally unstable, which may blur the way they think and cause issues for the child such as abuse or neglect. Putting the child at risk for abuse or neglect, overall is wrong because these children are harmless. They depend on their parent or parents for everything and they should never be put in any situation where they are harmed in any shape or form. It just is not right, and is not fair at all for the child. The parent may have a previous history of abuse, which is even more of a risk for the child to return back to that parent or parents. The courts do not always put a lot of attention on the past. They focus on how the parent is acting or behaving in the present and think everything is okay. Little do they know it is
normally a facade. Everything may seem like it is good, however, these are criminals and obviously are not in the right mindset at all. This may then lead to neglect of the child, which could cause the child to rebel in school or at home simply because that child wants to be noticed. The parents of other children, may also single this child out because of the bad impressions given off by the parent or parents that were in prison.
Supposedly people come out of prison as a changed person, however many times it's not a real change. It's a mask given off by the criminal to try to get better results from the court. When the child is singled out, the child may begin to feel unworthy which could in worst cases scenario lead to self harm, or even suicide attempts. The child could also be bullied, because of the choices made by the parents, or could also be the one who starts the bullying because of a want for attention. This could then lead to the child becoming mentally unstable because of the many feelings of neglect that come from the school, and or the household
situation. It is morally wrong for a child to return to their parent or parents who have committed a felony. The child should never need to feel any type of pain, or any sense of unsafety in the household. It is not right and no child no matter what the circumstances should ever be put in a situation where they may question why they are so unlucky as to have a dysfunctional household, or even why they need to be alive. It is morally wrong and should not be tolerated under any circumstance. The child under any circumstances should not be able to witness crime in the household. It is not safe, and may lead the child in the future to believe behavior like this is tolerated in society. The more crime the child witnesses, the more of influence it may have on the child's future. Over time the child will surely pick up on all of the bad habits, which will then cause a life of crime in the child's future, simply because the parent or parents chose a life of crime, which then rubbed off onto the child. Overall, it is detrimental for a child to return from foster care to a parent or parents who have committed a felony. Not only is it unsafe for the child in more ways than one, it also causes the child to develop problems that can cause a harmful future. It is wrong and should not be allowed under any circumstances.
