MNISI, Rosina  e  BOTHA, Petro. Factors contributing to the breakdown of foster care placements: The perspectives of foster parents and adolescents. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2016, vol.52, n.2, pp.227-244. ISSN 2312-7198.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-502.

This article describes the factors contributing to the breakdown of foster care placements of adolescents from the perspective of the foster parents and adolescents involved. It was found that all the placements in the sample were kinship foster care placements. Although similar factors were identified, the perspectives of foster parents and adolescents differed. Disruptive behaviour of adolescents, including substance abuse, inappropriate sexual behaviour and involvement in the occult were identified. Physical and emotional abuse by foster parents and the involvement of biological parents were also isolated as contributory factors. Recommendations for practice and further research were made.
