Social services

So I have a daughter who was adopted at 2yrs old due to dv. Iv had face to face contact with her all her life with her adoptive parents who live in the same town as me. Recently her adoptive parents placed her in foster care as she was asking to come back home to me etc etc long story. But she's currently in a Foster home and social services are not allowing her to have a mobile phone, but my daughter keeps running away constantly and was missing 3days ( only found yesterday) and now today she's ran again. My question is do you think it's right for social services to take a 14yr old phone expesially a 14yr old that runs away? Because no matter how much I express my concerns etc they keep saying she's not getting a phone

Show your support

This is heartbreaking. I don’t think they should be taking her belongings. Are you able to take her in, why is the still in the system?

@Lisa she is still adopted until 18 but adoptive parents placed her in foster care so now social services have PR with the adoptive parents, social services want her to stay with the adoptive parents but my daughter wants to live with me. Ss say I am no risk to her and they have no concerns it's just they don't want the adoption to fail and not listening to my daughters wishes, what's concerning me is that they won't allow her to have a phone for her own safety as she's vulnerable. She's missing again again the moment and still not back.

She's been missing Saturday Sunday and now today 😢and what's more concerning is that she has autism

Lawyer up. Pressure them for a reassessment. Address their concerns and tick off every damn thing on their list as soon as you can. Fight. Don’t stop fighting.

In a way yes. When you act up and don’t follow rules you lose your privileges. A phone is a privilege and if my daughter was acting that way she would definitely be losing her phone too! Majority of children in foster care, especially those who come from abuse, should not be allowed to have phone unless it is monitored very very closely. They could be trying to get in contact with their abusers or if they are addicts they could help trying to get drugs. So yes I agree with this, it’s for the child’s safety
