I’m a foster parent and yeah, there just isn’t anywhere for these kids to go. In any given state there are hundreds of kids who need a bed. The statistics for kids in the system are absolutely abismal. Something like 50% of kids in the system will end up with an addiction. It’s super rough to be a foster parent.
Statisticly, kids are better off in abusive homes than in the system. Which is something that once I learnt, has been a constant battle to try to square
Thank you for your service. I was friends with a foster kid and the situation at the foster home was fucked. One day for fun I went with a bunch of the foster kids to an out of the way parking lot, where they just beat the shit out of each other, fight club style.
His foster parents seemed like nice people, but the living situation was more like a fucked up dormitory where you got what you could through intimidation and violence.
