Kicked Out From Care to Chaos 2017 BBC Documentary

something is wrong when the child is removed from the home instead of the abuser being removed. her dad should have gone to prison forever. its also a shame how the govt treats those children in its care. Thank God for her family that took her in as one of their own. that has made the diference in her life.

Absolutely amazingly young woman. A lesson for all social workers, and care professionals. It's always been known that children in care have more issues, hopefully, a better solution to removing children is found, education, support and greater understanding of family dynamics can lead to better solutions. Too often the care service don't see the results of their actions, this video should be essential viewing and part of training. You are a star Rebecca.

Such a dark subject but 2hat an absolutely lovey young lady who made the the video and who also presented it, HER talents in film and documentary making will go far by the quality of this documentary that she made well done t👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

just found this and as I'm in care myself I find this heartwarming well done rebbecca :)

I have worked with many young children who have gone into foster care and even as a baby being rescued by the social services the damage is usually already done. As the brain is forming any negative and traumatic experiences changes neurological pathways. The brain is brilliant at trying to mould to a situation and will do anything to survive if that is violence or disconnection then the brain will do this. I have seen so many children who get moved into stable homes and even with the care and support of really good foster carers the children will end up in the same situation they would have been in had they have actually stayed in the abusive situation. The film maker who is a lovely young lady will also have major psychological pain and trauma and I hope she is getting councilling as she appears to be one of the few that can cope and mask the pain. I hope she continues to push towards having a normal life.

This is a fantastic documentary I hope everyone sees this and understands more

I've come out of care, turned 20 and things are really hard, I had no idea

I was in care then got adopted by a family that were abusive to me so I have a lot of issues now. There isn't any support I have been told that I need therapy but it's not funded and is very expensive so I just manage. I have managed to hold a job for three years now though, you have to stay strog and forgive yourself for not being able to do some things as well as people raised in a loving environment, love to everyone who's been through this, you are worthy.

Really feel for these young people, I too had a rough childhood, I'm 48 now, & it still affects me. Especially atm, as we've got major issues as a family

Hi Rebbecca, I m in the middle of my assessment to foster care and found your documentary . Thank you , I will keep that in my heart and try to apply to long term foster care! I was encouraged to give a home and not a placement to someone! Lots of love Vee

well done for being so so brave to do this documentary

Inspirational work Rebecca, proud of you as a fellow care leaver and I will be using this documentary within my research project focusing on the social and financial inequalities faced by care leavers

I think councils need to listen and act and support better

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Your effort is appreciated, and your documentary is excellent.

Much respect to you Rebecca, stay golden, thank you.

This documentary is excellent! Keep up the good work Rebecca Southworth! So proud of you! Care should provide counseling and have a class to teach life skills and work skills to help kids transition to adulthood. Welfare is not the answer. Such a sad situation.

This is a really valuable documentary. Would Love to know how your interviewees are doing, their voices (and yours) are important.

Brilliant keep up the good work. My son isa foster carer and I will make sure he sees your video xx
