      Reporters investigating these places need to understand, first and foremost, what happens to these kids when they act out. What happens when they won't go to bed?; when they won't do their chores?; when they lash out and throw a tennis ball through a window? What's the procedure?

      Can the children be physically restrained by anyone? Are the people who grab kids,pin them to the ground, dig their knees into their backs, yank their arms while they scream... is that their job? Is that what they're supposed to do? Are there any rules at all?

      These children will not be docile, especially living 5 to a room. That's a joke. There's going to be violence. Adults are going to get frustrated. Who the fuck is watching these people?

      Here’s another picture of me, hugging someone who is not my mother, on a compound with as many as 128 kids. But hey... we had a TV. How bad could it be? Fuck you. How old was I, do you think, before my first suicidal thought? Younger than you.pic.twitter.com/q1oZLN6J3S

      I went to a doctor today. I've been stressed out for a while. I'm a journalist after all. I have to read the news every day. But this is something new. It's messing me up. And I couldn't deal with it alone. These pictures of kids living in fucking warehouses. It's killing me.

      Only tweeting this now I guess because it's 5am & I've been drinking. Of course, I'm no stranger to alcohol. It was a friend early on. Rarely is now, thankfully. I am always awake at this hour though. Always. Anxiety is forever with me, every day, for 30 years. Guess why?

      In the early 90s, my dad helped found a group called Texas Fathers for Equal Rights. Back then, moms always got custody no matter what. He represented himself, no degree, just studied in SMU's law library for years. I was abducted & they tried to keep me. Parents are heroes.

      Children need love. Most importantly, they need it from their parents. It's our responsibility as a society to ensure they get it. Everything else is secondary.

      I don't feel bad. Or sad. I just wonder if I'd be more stable today without this.

      It's part of who you are, for better or worse. I had a different kind of problem childhood (my parents were the problem—probably should have been at foster care) and if I talk about it, I see people's jaws drop. I'm like, oh, right, some people have stable, loving childhoods.

          I like who I am and what I know because of what I've lived through. Not sure I'd want an easier life. I know a lot of boring people who don't know shit.

          At the same time, that's me and I don't mind being rough around the edges. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else though.

          So who knows? It's part of who you are. But separating children from parents when there are even slightly willing parents—let alone enthusiastic ones—is horrific. Research seems to show that kids do better even with abusive parents (within limits) than group care/foster care.
