- The number of children in care in England could soar to 100,000 unless there is radical reform of the social care system.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
That's according to an independent review of children's services - which calls for an urgent increase in funding, the recruitment of more foster carers and a windfall tax on private children's home operators.
We spoke to one recent care leaver and a frontline social worker about a system under creaking pressure.

Its good to see Kim got her degree and is doing well. She is clearly a very tough and determined lady who has done well in spite of the system.
Yes! Thank goodness for her strength she will still need to keep that up
We care more for animals than children in this country.
100% makes me sic
I thought I was the only one to see that 😂
More care for donkeys in uk 😂😂😂😂😂
Say that again
So sad would have never thought that of England. I am still alive, healthy, and desperate to have my son bck into my care. After a diagnosis the LA decided to place my child. My child desperately wants to be returned home. And yet they don't care. The care system needs urgent reform so many children are emotionally hurt.
kids in care have it rough, the stats and my own experience of people I know are really shocking. more needs to be done to keep kids with their families, even if not parents perhaps
The big question is why Britain has this type of problem while other Europeans' social services work better. Is a failing social welfare system or family values to blame? Both. Some families have children for the sake of claiming benefits. When things go wrong, they get rid of them by asking the government to look after their children. If the UK benefits system was more restricted and limited, people would think twice about having children.
So sad that this girl had no father, grandparents or relatives to take her in when her mother died.
How we need to see family life restored.
@D C
As a Christian I believe in family values.
The father should be just as responsible as the mother. In other cultures even where there is poverty the families manage to take care of one another.
We need family values back in Britain again. Statistically children thrive more being brought up in the family than in care.
I know I'll take stick for this but surely that's part and parcel of a family moving to another country? We literally look after half the world here. I do feel bad for anyone that loses parents at such a young age though.
She made it out like she was there because she's black 🤣 it's the system not about race ffs
@@Janet-d2c but this can literally make it worse. as someone who went through the care system if you put me with my surviving family members i likely would've killed myself. i was put into a social housing scheme and managed to get to university, but others aren't so lucky.
@D C the sad thing its only the weaker genes that are breeding
The care system is full of abusers.
If a remember right it's not about wanting a kid it's about the child benefit and Foster care money and once you no longer get that cash it's time to go so they kick you out they don't care about you cause your not there kid its a good amount of money you get for foster care and there is alot of people only doing it for the cash it's shocking but true
Some foster carers go on and adopt the child/children. They don't get foster money for that.
About £500 pw per child i think, a lot of money.
@@gtjust8188 It's the Agency that makes the money, not the Foster Carers, anyone taking a child in deserves every penny they get, Believe me, it can be a very tough job, but there are some fantastic carers who go over and above to help every foster child/young person in their care, safeguarding is paramount for every child, and all Foster Carers are accountable.
Most are in it for the 💸 💰
We are the generation no one cares about I got made homeless at 15... never got received any help... never got re homed I had to do everything on my own I know the feels hope your okay !
How are you now? I'm so sorry you had to go through all that 😔 💔 💕 This system is a joke.
The only ones who don't care are the adults who fabricated these unwanted children.
They give more love to animals than children in this country.
Mate.I was in care way back in the day.Its not new to this generation.
@Lost Khan You sound absolutely ridiculous and should be embarassed to be so ignorant and stupid on the internet. Karma is one day going to teach you why you shouldnt be so judgemental when you end up in that situation with no help at all
as a child of care and as a partner of a therapeutic care worker i can safely say that you are nothing more than a person with price tag. Care homes are typically run by private companies that lack therapeutic care of any kind and are only focused upon bringing kids into the home solely because of the allowance that they bring. As a result many safe guarding techniques are not properly enforced and many vulnerable children in care are groomed by gang members and by sexual predators. The answer isnt to financially entice companies to open homes but to hold those homes accountable, otherwise you end up with the current situation in Bradford where OFSTED closed majority of homes as they failed to meet standards and placed children (either directly or indirectly) in harmful and often dangerous situations.
I wonder where the fathers are??
Long gone but no doubt made plenty more children and in the same situation.
Too busy getting put down by social services because they favour women. Look into it.
erm why not look at why kids are ending up in care. i bet most dont have parents that died most just have scummy parents
if their daddy had the pleasure of making them , he can look after them
It's great to hear how all those children in so-called "care" are being brutally abused. Well done irresponsible adults for copulating with out a care for your actions.
They never said where her father even is. But i guarantee he is alive in the UK.
People don't realise how traumatic it is as a tiny body in such a big world.bless her ❤️
Sad state of affairs, brought in originally in 2010, under the guise of Austerity, which is just an excuse for lowering what the Government is prepared to do for society.
And I think social services should be made to wear cameras like police officers do because they say one thing in a meeting and then they go back and tell their bosses a different version of it
I don't think body cam will help as they will delete that footage or it's not been turned on or the camera broke. needs shutting down completely and taken into police only for children in servea danger
💯
I only know to well “they say one thing and go tell there bosses or write a statement saying something different”
Your 💯 right there.
I could write a book on what Sutton social services have done to my son ….. and the book would be a best seller.
Think of the billions sent to Ukraine..
What what female living wage would do it, women have a job in society. They should be raising kids not working 40 hours a week whilst the child get brought up by the local drug dealers.
At least the females grow a pair and try to bring up their children in hard situations unlike the shitty fathers who abandon them
The state and tax payer should not be paying to raise children it’s parental responsibility. Help sure but to raise them. Madness. A child raised by the state is messed up. People are dealing with their own kids they can’t take on other peoples too, nowhere to put them but institutions. It’s not fair on anyone. Stop having kids and abusing them ffs this is a trend getting. Every other day parents are hurting their kids and going to jail for abuse. Parents are becoming more dangerous than strangers. It’s mind boggling that 100,000 kids have abusive or uncaring parents.
The parents are DEAD you idiot. What you have have typed bares no relevance. Quit pointing you finger and listen with your ears you reprobate
Ignorance at it's finest
it’s time there were more responsible fathers
You Vile person. The majority of women use children as a pay check.
Statistics prove that father are the bettwr parent and the child does better in life. But fathers are discriminated against every day.
Always seem to be the same type of people funnily enough!
I was abused my entire childhood and they didn't noticed they reversed order now so I'm getting blamed for my parents abusing me.
It’s not just social care on kids in the system it’s also social care on care for those with disabilities and elderly, they go on holiday but don’t set an interim worker, put caters in place they will come in for 5 mins or take out the trash outside and sign they’ve done there HOUR which they get payed for, it shouldn’t just be a windfall on the private providers but more stringent checks and screening of caters and care services before put in. There are failings all over mental health social care, mental health, hospitals drs, yes and no social carers aren’t responsible for people being bad but they are responsible to thoroughly check there backgrounds
Your spot on its the whole system, the social care system has needed reformed for as long as I remember as I was put into care from 2weeks old to an abusive family and as some say nobody care,what's more I'm homeless at my age with mental health problems and severe arthritis and was kicked out of temporary accommodation in January to freeze and only had a car to sleep in.the system will only change if we all started caring and made it change,it starts with each and everyone of us. The system cares and works for those who have money and fit into society.

What does the ‘black’ bit have to do with it?
A lot
There is not a broken social care system. The problem is broken families. Government needs to start addressing problems at the very root, instead of trying to put a plaster on a gaping wound when the damage is already done.
There is not broken socia care system.
Seems that you have not clue my friend what's going on .
Child protection, force adoption needs reforms ASAP, to stop child abuse.
everything the gov does breaks and incentivizes breaks of family lol
Perhaps her dad could have done something, rather than relying on the government?
Bs you haven't clearly experienced bias social workers unless you are one?
Well someone must be her father..
I think family culture is missing. many children's parents die but grandparents, parents siblings most places they take care of them. also, childcare systems should take child only in extreme situations and there is no other option.
Where's the father in all this?
Probably working all day to just get the basics
@@yasak8383 well obviously not if she’s been abandoned in the system, duh..?
Stop taking innocent children from innocent families then....its simple take the ones who are abused not the ones who are not!
It's money talk nothing to do with child protection look at how kids are forcedly removed from families in Sweden for telling a lie the kid will be like nah just felt like saying it then next day social and police came and kidn...p three kids of their family and one straight from nursery
If only they understood this.
Well arent those 100,000 children better off than being in a family that don't care about you, beat you in worst cases murder you, maybe its the social care system just taking children from their parents without a good reason like they just did to my sisters best friend, that is recovering from having 3 brain tumours removed and then social services decided he couldn't look after them anymore and took them out their beds 4 nights ago... what needs reforming are the government bodies of this country and trust me that day of reckoning is coming... sooner than you think
How sad I wish she will get them back
This country is disgusting theyll never change i tried to get away from my abuse moving away from my last carer that abused me her only moving onto the next road from me and my housing not doing nothing neither lambeth as they helped with the abuse and refused to move me even though my p school teachers told them i aswell we are and always will be paychecks
And this is why abortion is a necessary part of life
Im a young black female? do you expect better due to skin pigment???maybe you should be grateful that you got care and a home till you were 17
You're a sick person
I'd like to speak with parents or children who have had social services involvement due to poverty and deprivation. Poverty is not neglect - but it is being used as a reason to remove children from their loving parents and placing them in a system where they are unloved, abused and irreparably harmed.
I was kidnapped at a young age because workmen kept coming to fix a toilet (in the centre if the house) and made it worse...
eventually, the wallpaper wore off and my family used to do little doodles on the walls before wallpapering, just as a nice memory kinda thing, but social services decided to say there was graffiti on the walls, no carpet and a broken/flooded toilet. As if that's just how we always had it...
To make things worse, my social worker used to pull me out of my favourite lessons just to ask me twisted questions like: "does your mum drink?" And as a 5 year old, alcohol doesn't exist to you so i obviously replied yes everyday.
To this day i carry guilt that it was my fault.
@redheadpatriot where have you refered these families?
Where’s the father? There lies the issue!
Dead. Would you say the same if she was white? Doubt it
@@LonDonTaylor. You’re the one that’s bought race into the equation, I never even mentioned it.
@@liveitlarge68 Doesn't matter if you never mentioned it, the allusion was there from your micro aggressive undertone
@@LonDonTaylor. Well you carry on with your “allusions” and your interpretation’s of what I am supposedly of meant to say with my so called undertone.
You are proof of what is wrong with uk today. Anything that’s said can so easily be twisted to be “racist” by people like you. Clearly you have some insecurities.
@@liveitlarge68 Never said you were racist, I was leaning towards you being ignorant and judging someone based on stereotypes.
Surprise, surprise, she's making it about race. Boring.
Black men are proven more likely to vanish when they've got a woman pregnant, I think race is relevant however they don't highlight absent black male father as the issue
It's channel 4.No shock there.
@@mikehawk9156 it's the same with all TV channels, ignore the truth and blame whitey
How did she make it all about race?
@@theokr89 she knows playing the race card will get her somewhere
And the government do not care. The only care they have is amongst themselves. Cut backs since Tories have come to power all the way through till now.
Mass unskilled immigration is extremely expensive.
Same story in Scotland, unfortunately.
"As a nation, I think we should care." So true. But Unfortunately, caring means spending money. And our current government is quite happy to tax us more heavily than we have been since the 1940s, but they arent willing to spend any of that money helping ordinary people. After they've given hand outs to oil companies, and government contracts to their mates for services that are never delivered, and paid for the vast cost of brexit, there just isn't enough money to ensure orfans get looked after and children get protected from abuse. But you know, they have their priorities...
Is disgusting what that foster family did to her! Using like chew gum biting it through countless times and spitting it out.
How can me and my son speak out about children’s social care. Also how adoption failed my son he lived with his adopties for 14 years and was treated very badly in thier care
Blessings sis... JESUS BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU A BEAUTIFUL LIFE❤️🙏🏾❤️
Amen Jesus is the answer.
Once a person enters into a personal relationship with God everything changes from within.
He gives a peace this troubled world can never give and binds up the broken hearted setting the captives free becoming a father to the fatherless.
The UK taxpayer has done what Jesus can not. And not gratitude.
My brother and I were also used till we reached 16 then we got tossed to the street. While our so-called foster family move to a rich area with all the money they made over the years from us.
I hope you and your brother are doing better now mate, don't let the system beat you 👍
@@gtjust8188 We learned to love our kids and make them feel secure. Thank you for your support.
@@xKYL0Nx awesome to hear mate, glad it worked out in the end 😊
My son has just been taken into care straight from school. School called me and asked how my son got a red mark then I said I don’t know I turned his head to look at me yesterday but I didn’t touch his face it was the side of his head I turned and he had no marks what so ever then with that the school called the police and social services and put him straight in care
@@xxxexxxeamsmith5819 im. so very sorry what they did fucking awful, they destroyed me completely when I was one with the brusies all over my face from my teenager they fabricated that I physically battered my children no evidence what so ever not even evidence fro. hospital or police
Stop having kids you can't look after someone people see kids as money 😒 🙄
Stop eating & drinking, as there is no enough water in the world & we need more trees and protect animal rights .
their mother died.
Beyond belief. 😳
This is a very touching video i i will watch it to the end
Don't dare blame the system... blame your culture. No Father ,no chance.
That’s a harsh thing to say. It happens to kids from all background that go into care
The pay cheque statement is soooo true
Same here i had an awful time same issues this lady had, I was 17 .
I agree I did feel like a pay cheque myself
Our 3 children were stolen from us by over zealous social workers, my partner was a recovering alcoholic due to childhood abuse and i was incapacitated due to extensive cancer treatment, we tried to fight for them, including passing alcohol and drug tests, having no transport or money and ensuring we were at every meeting, instead of aiding us social services eventually ground us down and took them for good after 2 years of court battles, the solicitors we were allowed to use were quite happy to follow ss directions to ensure they got a steady stream of lucrative future child cases. The whole system is rigged, michael gove was the instigator of these gestapo tactics as he explained" i was adopted as a child and it turned out far better for me" well lucky michael! Because Unfortunately he has destroyed 100's of thousands of familys, good families, going through short term problems. I am old enough to know that one day his conscience will destroy him.
being in care the managers from different carehomes will tell you time and time again "we need more kids to cover the rent costs and fill up the room it's a business"
Socail care have gone down hill big time
Number is increasing because is a very large amount of money 💰 to get from people children so must of time the soshel worker just inting like ienis
Why do you need to mention your race?why not young female just gets annoying🙄
New people, new problems.
@@hiromiw649 In Japan the number would be 99.9% Japanese kids in care.
People have problems but so what? You're suggesting we add new problems to the old ones.
Why not bring 100 million problems here? By your logic.
perhaps the total destruction of the traditional family and the undermining of the concept of a biologically male father and a biologically female mother and the assumption that all authority is bad may have a lot to do with this. Now tell me C4N, which side of that destructive process have you been on?
You could also argue that the complete disallusionment that is leveled onto all men as a group, as if they are all some form of evil malevolence just for existing. Women insisting that men have zero say in a relationship is also going to damage relations severely
It..... F.KIN.. ..S T I N K S .....from the 'HEAD'.....DOOOooooown.
N.W.O.
Same in wales, neil mcenvoy has exposed it with visiting homes without announcing and got into trouble for not pre arranging
My mum fostered children and my auntie . Was the worst thing weve ever done . Destroyed our family and i promise u is not worth it . The system is suicide for a happy family looking to make change . Don’t do it
How did it destroy your family?

Jeez 😢
😳😳😳
Birth control only hope
Where was her father and was her mother a single parent l wonder
🤦🏾♀️
Yes changes are needed, but people need to also know. These places aren't meant to be luxury 5 star hotels ofcourse. It is like benefits money, benefits isn't for people that want even eat healthy food or want to stay warm during winter nights.
It’s people like you with this mindset that are apart of the problem.
Authorities should make it easier to become a foster parent. Detailing your life from birth onwards including all addresses, references from past partners, also I don’t know any British family who have a spare bedroom that is needed for a foster child.

It's cruel to put people like her into care, she should have been sent back to her family in Africa where her culture would have been better understood.
I'm sorry to hear that such an oppressed individual with no money was somehow able to attend university, how does that even work?
How do you she is African? she could be Jamaican.
