[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 400448, member: 1233"] I hope this is helpful to the girl. How frustrating to not even be heard by her parents, though they were right there. She must REALLY be upset to say it in a public setting. It is highly possible for even the youngest of these kids to be abusing the bio kids - even given the age differences. How would YOU react to this younger child coming in, doing inappropriate and wrong things to you/at you and then because she is "cute" and "normal" looking if you complain she cries foul and says you did it to her - so the older kid gets the blame AND punishment. If you can get private time iwth this teen please let her know you are on her side and if there are things she wants to talk about you will believe her and try to help. I agree with Marg that these people are hooked on the rewards of fostering - endorphins and adulation from those who know about their "dedication" and "love" and "devotion" to these kids (while their own feel abused and neglected - cobbler's kids have no shoes syndrome!).
