Which ever way these kids get a raw deal.
I have got to know several foster carers, all specialise in different care.This lady's babies going straight to adoption or cares long term before the baby is returned to its natural mother. The carpenter who did some work on our house I've know through my job for years, he and his wife take on emergency cases, getting the police arriving at any hour of the night or day with a child and they never know for how long. His wife was a nurse (and they have 6 children of their own!)
Philip's friend Sammi was finally adopted by her foster parents after being returned to her natural parents to be battered so often Avril had had enough and appeal to the courts. She cares for battered kids still, and has adopted 3 (including Sammi) the twins are brain damaged 13 years old now, Nigel is so severe he is in a wheelchair.
Then there are the Sparkes, they take on teenagers, run aways and ADHD. Millie is a brownie in Christine's pack. 'Mini Me' Christine called her. She ran away from home age 6, but she also has behaviour problems. She sadly took a major step backwards when Christine died, But Mr Sparkes says she is getting better.
I couldn't do their job, patience of a saint and yes I think maybe Social Services do get it wrong and employ the wrong couple sometimes, but rarely.
