  • The streets are filled with foster kids current and other "Graduates" ....

    Foster care and child protection are responsible for producing over 80% of the homeless population.

    Where are the others? Check your local jails.

  • 'Poverty is a risk factor for children' So what are we going to do about it? I want more gardens, to promote the government to make space to grow gardens for people to make a life by getting back to nature and providing their own basic needs. Give the poor their life back instead of being kicked and abused for being poor and left to squirm in the dirt give them the space to grow their own...

  • CPS has no humanright to have thier hands out waiting for the immigrents children, CPS should be advocating for those children to be with their family. All of that federal funding that they use to warehouse these children they could be helping the families stay together.

  • Explain why 70% of prisoners are foster care children? Explain why children are only taken from those who can't afford an attorney? Explain why not one politician has the courage to address these issues. Explain why CPS selected my youngest child while I kept my other two. CPS gave full custody of my daughter to a single man. CPS don't have a leg to stand on anymore, they have loss all respect with the American people.
