I knew it was bad but this is more sinister than I imagined. Reminds me of the private prison industry. They are probably connected.
HOLD UP. Did you know that foster care BUSINESSES are publicly traded companies? And kids are dying in them at an alarming rate.https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/921009588291473408 …

One feeds the next and that's sick. We should all be ashamed of how we treat the least of us.
-
Exactly what I was thinking. We have to shine a light on all of this and fight it with our voices and votes.
-
Yes. And our lives. I'm in the camp of never having fostered but hope to one day foster a teen. Teens need homes.
-
I should have been making a home for kids instead of my rotten ex!
-
Not too late... Foster kids need homes, not perfection. Not to pressure. I know nothing about your personal situation
-
If good people have such a hard time qualifying, how do these bad people I hear about do it? It mystifies me.
-
There's actually more than one path. Kinship homes are different than taking in strangers and trying to have babies is different than teens

I had no idea and I'm more disgusted and horrified than I was by Private Prisons. STOP PRIVITAZATION, it always leads to abuses.

Children of color & those w/low socioeconomic backgrounds. The same group that seems to always be disproportionately left in harms way.
-
And we have yet to find out how many who escape immediate injuries, end up with CTE or early onset of incurable neurodegenerative diseases.

Not till I read this, nearly sh*t. There are just some things that should not be capitalistic endeavors, foster care being one.

Yes, as well as juvenile detention facilities....all for profit, making millions a year from state and federal money (I worked for DHS-DYS)
