From the Foundling to the Welfare Child
Three actors are involved with the "welfare child" : the State, the institution of origin, and the host institution where the child is placed. After observing problems in the child's original family, the State, or rather its administration (Assistance publique) intervenes to place him in an institution or another family. By outlining the history of placement services, defining the type of children taken into custody (foundlings, abandoned children, etc.) and noting the type of custody (in an orphanage or a foster home), we can reflect upon society's expectations, during given periods, about families. Conceptions of the "right" family and of child placement were formed in the 19th century and did not change till the 1970s ! Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
