my mums friend has just fostered a 10 year old kid from glasgow, his mum was a junkie so he was put in care
anyway she came round to my mums today with him and he has to be the most shy kid ive ever seen. fuck knows what his mum was like, i asked him if he wanted a go of my 360, he didnt even know what a 360 was.
he didnt even know what hot chocolate was 
just goes to show not everyone has the smallest things in life

"360 smallest things in life" 
I don't have a games consol.
I head that you get a lot of money by fostering a kid.

Must be a reason why she was taken from her mother though?

You know what one is tho, I think Swedge's point was that this kid hadn't even heard of one. I can't even think how someone wouldn't have heard of one. I'm not really a big console fan but I've known about 360's before they were released, just through mates, tv etc.
Sounds like it's a good job he got took into care, I don't think people realise what some kids go through. I was fairly shocked when I read the first post, how can people not know what hot chocolate is? That's an incredibly sheltered life. No wonder the 'youth of today' are like they are with upbringings like this.
Good on em for fostering

My godparents tried fostering but got a massive selection of shit, culminating in one that tried to torch the house with them in it.
Lucky if you can get a good kid I suppose.

maybe but the foster carer didnt know why the court wouldnt let her have her daughter back, she said she was a good mum with her daughter n would b able to look after her, the ss wouldnt even let the foster carer adopt her

The 2 we have just now both have been taking regular fits when they get too warm which is being attributed to under development of their kidneys i think it is. You just know the mother has been taking smack or something similar during pregnancy.
Best bit about it is she doesn't want them 2 back but she's trying for another kid. Complete pollution to society, i'd have her womb ripped out for her behaviour and i dont apologise for saying that.
