In a Global News Exclusive, reporter Rumina Daya delivered a story that exposed some serious flaws within the foster care system. The family reached out to Global, frustrated with the system and looking for help. The foster parents – who had decades of experience – had the nine-year-old boy they had cared for almost his entire life removed from their care. The boy was reunited with his mother, but after receiving a desperate text message from the boy, the foster parents had serious concerns about his well-being. The family provided Global with video showing the boy pleading to stay at his “home.” Rumina pushed the ministry for answers, but got few. In a follow-up story, the family explains why they feel they are being punished for “breaking protocol,” despite helping foster children for decades. The family was fearful for the well-being of the young boy, and other young people stuck in the system. With this story, Global was able to provide a personal side to the debate over ministry care.
