Approximately 20,000 of those youth (from U.S. foster care) age-out each year without positive familial supports or any family connection at all. Within 18 months of emancipation 40-50% of foster youth become homeless.

The innocent caregivers in the fostercare system can take care of themselves, they're adults and will be even more supported and admired because they are protected by their innocence. It's the others that need to be stopped. I'm concerned with the children, the homeless who aged out of fostercare, and the injustices perpetrated on them and their families. Including, but not limited to, the cia, traffickers, jaycees, masons, abusive foster parents, and negligent and/or corrupt social workers and judges.
