Children in care more likely to end up in court, study finds
If they act violently or aggressively in a residential setting gardaí are likely to be called, whereas foster parents would be more likely to deal with the issue themselves, respondents said.
“While not condoning the behaviour of young people who act out, and understanding the consequences for behaviour are important, it has been difficult to note in many situations we have encountered that the gardaí are involved in issues that if happening in a family home they would not be involved with”.
Poor relationships between children and care staff might be one reason for these “domestic incidents” ending up in court, said Le Chéile, an educational trust which manages 60 schools.
