Public view of the foster care system.

In this journal, the researchers are reviewing the information that was conducted by other researcher in order the understand the study of the agencies having a difficult time providing the adequate service for the children, and the organizational problem of the large caseloads that the caseworkers have to take on. Since this is a review of the other other studies the researcher looks at the cases that other agencies have conducted to understand and explain the problems with in the foster care system. In the article by Stukes C. Sandra journal about the problems in our foster care system and specifically looking at the caseworker overload leading to turnover of caseworkers, and the effect of the type of placement each child is in, and the effect of their well-being (2004). The amount of cases reported to the Child Protective services is more than what the foster care system can take on. So when deciding which cases are in and which are not they  take the more serious cases the caseworkers are still overloaded (Sandra, Stukes C. and Tricia Bent- Goodley 2004). The amount of cases that one caseworker takes on is affecting the time and communication that they have with the case due to the amount of paperwork that must be completed (Sandra, Stukes C. and Tricia Bent- Goodley 2004). The research that Stukes C. Sandra talks about is important because it is the base for many different research studies that have been conducted. By reading this research and the newer research that has been conducted you can see the change system and see where the problems are still.
