It seems to me that the biggest issue for this particular child is a familiarity issue, out of her comfort zone anyway, away from family, then put with people who have very different beliefs, eating habits, perhaps speaking a foreign language in the home. No matter how well intentioned they might be, this is a five year old and it's probably more than she should have to handle all at once.

Please don't make presumptions in relation to my reasoning, I'm looking in the context in which it was presented, there was a deliberate slant to the article that coloured any genuine concern for the child or looked after children in general in that article.

Of course in an ideal world all needs of looked after children should be met, but they aren't are they? that is the harsh reality of social services in the UK.
