At least some States have adopted something called a "Prudent Parent Standard," which allows foster parents some leeway in arranging for the supervision of their children, for short periods of time. An oversimplified rule of thumb is, "for short periods of time, if you would trust your own child with this person, you can trust your foster child with this person." For some foster kids, the most exciting part of this rule is that it lets them spend the night at a friend's house. Not sure what the rule is in your state, though, but Google searching "prudent parent standard California" or whatever your state is, might help answer the question :)<br /><br />I tend to agree with you that, especially for foster kids, non-corporal forms of discipline probably work better.Addisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732176527883570863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971426914329031578.post-32181270939145206212013-04-21T16:55:51.792-07:002013-04-21T16:55:51.792-07:00Are random people allowed to take foster kids out ...Are random people allowed to take foster kids out to run errands? I was under the impression that foster kids aren't really allowed to hang out with other adults - all adults have to be background checked and so on. I'm sure I could be wrong. <br /><br />Oh, and btw, as far as I'm concerned, spanking never solves anything. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
