Infant's slaying sparks tragic memories for foster mom
Devastated foster mom remembers slain infant
A foster mom is mourning the loss of an infant she cared for after the child was killed by his biological parents. The tragic incident has brought back painful memories for the foster mom, who has lost other children in her care to violence.
The infant, who was just 10 months old, was killed by his parents in a murder-suicide. The parents had a history of domestic violence and had been struggling with mental health issues.
The foster mom, who is not being identified to protect her privacy, said she was devastated by the news of the infant's death. She said she had grown attached to the child and had hoped to adopt him.
Foster mom has lost other children in her care
The infant's death is not the first tragedy that the foster mom has experienced. She has lost other children in her care to violence, including a 2-year-old who was killed by his father.
The foster mom said she is committed to continuing to provide a safe and loving home for children in need, but she admits that it is difficult to do so when she knows that they could be taken from her at any time.
Systemic failures allowed infant to be placed with abusive parents
The infant's death has raised questions about the foster care system and whether enough is being done to protect children from abuse and neglect.
In this case, the infant had been placed with his parents even though they had a history of domestic violence. Critics say this is a systemic failure that needs to be addressed.
The foster mom said she hopes that the infant's death will lead to changes in the foster care system so that other children can be protected from similar tragedies.
