Sex-trafficking sting highlights vulnerability of foster children

Children rescued from sex abuse are placed right back into it.

The FBI raid that rescued 105 sexually exploited children from a sex trafficking ring last weekend has highlighted the vulnerability of foster children.
Sixty percent of runaways who are victims of sex trafficking had been in the custody of child protective services.
Many times when children are rescued from sex traffickers they are put right back into the foster care system to repeat the same vicious cycle.
Victims may even recruit other children into the very abuse they had just left.
With the “child protectors” snatching even more children into the system to get more federal funding, there has become a serious shortage of good foster parents to handle the surplus of children, which means the bar has been set really low for people who can qualify to foster.

Does Brad Heyen also feel fortunate that his adoptive parents use to joke that his biological parents were Amish?
Kansas Children’s Service League’s focus shifts from adoption to prevention and keeping families together Kansas Children’s Service League’s focus shifts from adoption to prevention and keeping families together By Elizabeth Scheltens The Wichita Eagle ""Brad Heyen doesn’t remember a time when he didn’t know he was adopted. It was a topic that was up not only for discussion in the house where he grew up but also for questioning and for even humor. “My parents and I used to drive past Hutchison and see Amish horse-drawn buggies on the road,” Heyen said. “They always used to joke that my birth parents were inside.” Heyen’s story begins like many adoption stories in Kansas: with the Kansas Children’s Service League. The nonprofit organization, which celebrates its 120th anniversary this year, has been responsible for thousands of adoptions statewide since its founding in 1893.""

Rally And Protest For Kansas "Grandmother Caught In Custody Dispute" Some people are good enough to be foster placements but NOT good enough to be a placement for their own grandchildren. Governor Brownback what are you doing?
for more of the story see previous link:
"On Monday, July 29, 2013, there will be a rally in front of KVC, 1223 Meadow Lark Lane, Kansas City, Kansas, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
This is a rally for the grandmother, Patricia, who was on the local Kansas City News, Channel 4, reporter Tess Koppelman, last week who stated that even though she had been a foster parent for years for KVC, Patricia was not allowed placement or adoption of her 4 year old grandson. Patricia's grandson was placed in stranger foster care and her grandson has had cuts and bruises which is possible abuse while in foster care."

Kansas, KVC Takes Child From Mother And Won't Let "Foster Care Provider" Grandmother Have Grandchild
Grandmother is a foster placement for other KVC foster children http://fox4kc.com/2013/07/09/grandmother-fights-for-custody-of-own-grandson/ KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A Kansas grandmother says there’s no reason why she shouldn’t be able to have custody of her own grandson, but for some reason, the state won’t let her have him. Patricia Madison says she is approved by the state of Kansas to be a foster parent, and she’s fostered many children over the last five years. But for some reason she’s not allowed to take in her own grandson. This custody battle has been going on for about a year and a half now. But Madison says she turned to fox 4 for help because she fears her grandchild will never be returned to his family now that the child’s foster parents are interested in adopting him. For more than a year, the only way Madison has been able to see her almost four year-old grandson Tristen is with supervised visits. She used to see him weekly, but then it was changed to once a month. “When I do see him I really don’t know if that’s the last time,” she said tearfully. Madison says about a year and a half ago her grandson was taken away from her son and put into state care. For awhile Tristen was placed with Madison’s daughter, but Madison says KVC, the agency that oversees foster care, took the child away. Madison says it was because they told her daughter that she worked too much. “She works 40 hours a week, I think that’s normal,” Madison says, “you have to work to pay your bills.” Madison says she’s made it clear from the start she wanted to take in her grandson. “I told them I wanted him placed in my care because I had been working with KVC keeping their foster kids,” she said, “and they told me ‘no.’” Madison says she’s never been told exactly why she can’t have Tristen. At one point she says KVC told her it was because of an abuse allegation from 1998. But letters from the state dated last year and last week both confirm that Madison is not on the Abuse and Neglect Registry and is not barred from working with kids. “I want all of this to be investigated,” Madison said, “this is not a way of putting families together this is not the way it’s supposed to be.” Madison keeps the bedroom ready for her grandson to come home but she’s losing hope, and fears that her grandson’s foster family will be allowed to adopt Tristen. “If he’s taken from me, I will never be the same,” she said, “I love him and I miss him and I hope soon he’ll be back with us again.” Both KVC and the state’s Department of Children and Families say they can’t comment on specific cases. But KVC says it does place kids with family members whenever possible. The agency adds that it works with the state and the courts to determine what is best for the child.
