RE: [FamilyProtection] Broken Adults: The Truth About Aging Out Of Foster Care System.

Foster children are not provided the proper mental health counseling and life skills to adapt in the outside would. The accumulate much baggage through all they were put through. But it is not properly addressed. Often standards, values and morals are developed due to poor parenting skills. And big daddy government is not going to step up to the plate and teach them. Much in life traces back to money and this does as well. Homelessness, crime and unemployment are symptoms to a bigger problem that has been unaddressed. If proper nurturing and psychological issues would be addressed we would not see these symptoms as often. Thanks for drawing this to our attention. We need a conversation on this topic.

Yeah, the list goes on and on. They would rather keep the kids on Psychotropic drugs to suppress their emotions than provide them adequate help with psychological issues!. A study made by Lucette Lagnado, showed that Psychotropic drug abuse was 11.9% in the case of foster children compared to 2.6% of their counterparts.
Why won't the child be in trauma!, when they are separeted from every form and values that only family can give.

There is no replacement for family, no not one.

Thanks @enjoywithtroy for your great contribution

I can so agree. There was a time when I was on certain medications to combat the psychological. They are only a band aid do not address the real problem. They only suppress the symptoms. May these children and adult once in the system find something to be thankful for today. Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

Amen, they will. Happy thanksgiving to you too. :)
