In 2015, the CEO of Sarnia-Lambton Children’s Aid Society created an ambitious plan called “Chasing Zero” – zero group homes, zero kids growing up in care.
Until then, Sarnia CAS was admitting kids into the child-welfare system at a young age and bouncing them around placements until they “aged out” at 18.
Some of the kids lived in foster homes, while others were in group homes.
It’s impossible for kids to find any sense of family or belonging in them. Under the new plan, that would no longer be an issue. Group homes would be eliminated. Kids would no longer spend years in the system.
But as Carolyn Jarvis reports, Sarnia CAS’s ambitious plan has come at a cost.
