Four Sentenced in Scheme to 'Adopt' Samoan Kids
This article is reach for lifestyle changes but I felt that it was important to show how hard it is in other countries for people to be trusting and do what is best for their families.
Samoan children are being taken from their families under false pretences. An adoption agency goes into homes and tells families with young children that they would like to bring the children into higher income homes in the US for a while so that they can be provided for properly. These families think that the kids will be provided a good education, food, shelter, and clothing and will return to them periodically still being their family. But in reality the agency takes the kids, gets parents who want to adopt to pay thousands of dollars and then sends the children to live under false pretenses. So in this case the children are e being abandoned and having to go months without schooling or proper education because they are going through adoption processes.
My opinion on this article is very much associated with the class discussion on Wednesday, we looked at the family taking action in their children’s lives. Parents care less and less about what their children are doing. So even in this case where the parents are giving up their children in hopes that they will have a better life, they are not doing the research behind it. I think that lower SES families are not provided the resources to provide for their children the way they could if they had computers or news outlooks. Even in America we see families, for instance the Navajo Indians these kids wrote Obama and told him they were his best friend because they thought that he could give them new homes and better school facilities. Education needs a drastic change on all level, parents need to be more educated world wide not just locally.
