If you're in foster care, that means you're not legally an adult. The rights afforded to children are a subset of the rights granted to adults. Until you are no longer a child in the eyes of the law in the UK, you do not have all the same rights as an adult, nor do you have all the same responsibilities of an adult. Here in the USA, there have been a few court cases where minors (someone not yet considered an adult in the eyes of the law) have "divorced" their guardians, but these cases go to court and generally require the child to show why it's in their best interests to be legally "emancipated" from their parents/guardians. Keeping you from seeing a friend at their house is not generally going to be seen as a violation of your human rights. |
