Inside View

Every child is entitled to share in, and be part of family life. Where the child’s natural family is unable to offer that family experience society is obligated to provide a substitute family. Family group home care should not be regarded as substitute family care. However, if agencies conducting family group home programmes are aware of the limitations of this model, the positive aspects of family group home care may be optimised.

Authors deal with the substitute family care in the Czech Republic. Attention is concentrated on a conception of the substitute family care as a form of a children care in that children are raised by “substitute” parents in an ambience that is very similar to a natural family life. In the Czech Republic, the substitute family care is always preferred to an institutional upbringing. The aim of the article is to describe the system of the substitute family care in the Czech Republic and to introduce a foster care as one of the institutes of the substitute family care. Authors paid attention to a foster care and to a temporary foster care in the context of a professional preparation of foster families. The professionally led preparation in the Czech Republic is legally regulated by performing some law provisions of the social and legal children protection.

Negative Peer Influence

The risk of delinquent to antisocial behaviors among youth (teenagers) seem to be more prevalent in group homes than other foster homes. The aim of this study was to examine the association between negative peer influence and youth antisocial behaviors in group homes. Participants were 875 youth aged 10 to 17 at baseline (2010–2011). Logistic regression modeled antisocial behavior and tested the hypothesis that negative peer influence will predict youth antisocial behaviors cross sectionally at baseline and longitudinally after 3-year follow up, and negative peer influence will be moderated by group home size. The Ontario Looking after Children database was used for analysis. Findings indicate that negative peer influence predicts youths’ risk of antisocial behavior (at baseline). The risk increased almost five folds in 3 years. At baseline ( OR = 1.65) and ( OR = 4.90) after 3 years. Generally, findings suggest negative peer influence underscores youth antisocial behaviors in group homes.
