Description
Introduction Children who have an adverse sexual history prior to care are the ones most in need of a reparative family life experience but the safety issues involved make the fostering task especially difficult (Sargent and O'Brien, 2004). Their sexually abusive behaviour poses a powerful threat to the foster family's sexual safety. Just how is a foster carer supposed to respond when a 12-year-old boy steals her knickers from the wash basket, masturbates with the bedroom door open and creeps around the house in the dark? Or when a 13-year-old girl is found playing 'bottom games' with the carers' young grandchildren? Or when a seven-year-old boy's teacher reports that he is taking his penis out in class, following pupils into the toilet and touching their private parts. The research shows that foster carers' responses to such behaviour include feeling frightened, humiliated, shocked, betrayed, guilty, incompetent and hopeless. Not only do few carers receive training in handling sexualised behaviours but very often their support workers also lack skills in this area (Pithouse et al, 2004).
