In this article they talk about the death of 7-year old Chandler Grafner who was abused and starved to death by his foster parents. I find this article very interesting because not only has this happened once but to seven other children in the state of Colorado who were under the protection of social services. I will never understand why this keeps happening to children when adults and teachers see all of the signs of abuse. There is no excuse to why they don't come forward and approach the things they are seeing on these children to the police. I overall think that we need a better foster care system because it seems that these children are not safe in these foster care homes. Hopefully they will come up with a solution to better the foster care system so there wont be so many deaths of children who are under social services protection.
