Being a foster parent is no easy task, especially when dealing with teens who have a history of running away. One couple found themselves in a moral dilemma when they decided to force their 14-year-old foster daughter, H, to attend church with them to prevent her from running away. While they believe they’re doing what’s best for her safety, others are questioning whether this is the right approach. Let’s dive into this emotionally charged story and see if we can make sense of it all.

Church Attendance: A Solution or a Problem?

This foster family’s dilemma has sparked a heated debate: is forcing their flight-risk foster daughter to attend church with them a necessary safety measure or an infringement on her personal beliefs? While the caseworker approves of the decision, a friend criticizes the family for not respecting H’s wishes. As H continues to struggle with her emotions and past behavior, the family hopes to find a way to help her feel safe and loved. But is this church solution truly the best answer, or are there other ways to support H? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
