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.

An uncle of mine by marriage was a guardian or caregiver for the system. He was a total dickwad and groomed one of the young girls he was supposed to be a foster parent to. Beyond that personal story are more stories of various cousins who were sexually abused by the folks who were supposed to be THEIR foster parents. A male cousin of mine was physically abused - broken ribs I believe. For context, my family is large and some of the adults who birthed my cousins were shitbags and couldn’t care for their own children. This was all in Oregon state.
Soon we will see stories about the corruption. They do traffic kids and sometimes they traffic them out of the country. I promise you they approve “guardians” or foster parents who THEY KNOW groom or molest children. Its a fact to me because I have seen it first hand.
So, while your mother sounds like a saint and your town sounds lovely, these evil demons do exist outside your vicinity.
100% agree. I'm old and have seen much. Thanks.
Yep. Its a huge scam. They target parents who can’t afford to hire a lawyer to fight the charges. They’ve also medically kidnapped kids in Oregon (look up the Kylee Dixon case; her mom is a good woman and never deserved to have her rights removed).
The whole system makes a ton of money off the foster care system. Children who they steal from parents (yes it happens to parents who are competent) are currency for the state and the whole child care system. Its a SCAM, a pyramid scheme, a parent gaslighting system, a pedo ring and it will be exposed.
