No. I know in NYS they've opened up housing where underage girls in forster care can have their babies and they'll pay for almost everything. The sad part is though that they allow the girls to have MORE kids. I lived at a placement like that and girls who started with one kid would end up with 2 0r 3 before they were 18. There was no true initiative to say "hey, this happened once let's stop it from happening again". Nope, men could come and visit daily, have sex and make babies with any one of us. We lived in a gated community and had our own little apartments but couldn't be accessed unless you came to the front desk & were buzzed into the community. So everyone coming in had to sign and give their i.d girls aged from 16-21 lived there. I remember the one girl had her second son with a man who was 40yrs old while she was there. They allowed him to come.in visit, and clearly have sex and get her pregnant there. I didn't have a kid, I instead had a fellow foster kid as a roommate. NYS raised me to 21, I'm almost 30 now and still don't understand some a the things that went on. All the places are still open 🤦🤷 idk
