英文小作文：

I am writing to express my concern about the increasing number of children being detained by social services due to neglect or abuse. I believe that this practice should be reviewed and alternative solutions sought to protect these children from further harm.

In my opinion, detaining children is not a long-term solution and can have negative effects on their mental and physical health. Instead, it is important to provide them with support and resources to help them recover and move forward in their lives.

We should also recognize that these children have suffered trauma and need to be treated with care and compassion. They should be provided with access to mental health support, counseling, and other resources that will help them cope with their situation and move forward in their lives.

Finally, we should work towards changing the culture of detaining children and promoting a more supportive and nurturing environment that will help these children recover and thrive in the future.
