[@vivianlee4910]

Wow wow wow ! I just watched this due to my child welfare class as I’m a MSW student .. this was an eye opener !

[@claudeholloway5462]

Prehaps the most comprehensive and informative discussion I have ever heard on the subject. It's confirmed my lifelong observation and experiences of 70 year's. The historical information of the Law and it's enforcement is an epiphany for those that I share it without. Please do not grow weary in well doing, keep up the good worķ THANKS

Before you become an activist or anything of the kind you must learn the system and put in place attorneys, social workers and assistant and surveillance, so that you can be ready for any of these issues. Because you know they are coming.

INSTEAD OF PARENT CLASSES HAVE PARENTS HOUSE, SOMETHING LIKE A FROSTER HOME. BUT IT WOULD BE A CLASSROOM INVOLVEMENT IN A HOME SEATING!?!? I WILL HAVE TO WORK ON THIS!?! uPEnding WELFARE ABOLITION

Money a d economics cause stress and it's serious but it's not just about money for former foster kids out there alone who become parents. Why can't you see that what is needed is for you to not phone in to a sick system as if you are a dogooder 😆getting your conscience off your back by dissapearing the problem off your lazy list, but end your own judgement and act like real family: people who have the back of mothers and act like what a good family would do for the family without a punitive adoptive austem: be the family you want to see in the world, be there and care without having to subject families to a damaging terrorizing family abusing child abusing neglectful system. It's really easy to find the citizens who actually help btw. Ask poor families what services and pastors and organizationsand business worklife policies which actually did that made a difference. Those, follow their lead, FUND thEm. And make a r (SAFE) eporting system on the systems and folks who get away scot free with emtitled harm. A forgiving, humane reporting system, not the terrorizing one you give to families that shatters them forever. See Richard Wexlar speeches or Senator Nancy Slaetor (who is dead now) about what those (actually) do to families. And lastly: Nothing will ever let you know what it feels like at six to lose every single family member you have ever known, all at once. Try having a partner or spouse with those abandonment issues. You are destroying the rest of their entire life, not just their childhood. And you mock them while they are reeling and overwhelmed on tv shows as "hoarders" and "five stage clingers." Until they die early of a heart attack. (Read Dying of a Broken 💔 Heart.) Pursuit of happiness, eh?
