Name changed. Will be brief and give as little Information as possible but I do hope to not drip feed, apologies if it happens.

A relative of mine is in foster care (no other option) and is being treated awfully.
The celebrity last year that had their kids placed in care - one of them went to the same foster family.
My relative and this celeb child cried themselves to sleep every night. The celeb child got moved due to abysmal care, the relative is still there. Services aren't reacting to strong complaints.
I feel like this information is possibly enough leverage to change things for my relative, Pressure at least.
What would you do?

You could try the fostering network to see if they have any suggestions.

If you have proof of poor or abusive care or negligence by the social worker a formal complaint would need to go to the county council and the local mp. There should also be an mp who heads up that section within the council.

Report it to social services. Can’t you or your family foster this relative?
