The Corrupted Foundation That Is.

Children’s aid is a two faced society that make you believe that they are here to save young people from abuse and other inhuman acts. But in reality, it is an industry of profit and not the heavenly miracle it claims to be. Whether it’s setting unfair boundaries or constantly changing the rules like: No contact with real family members unless contact is done under their supervision, your privacy is nothing but a fantasy etc. This is the way things are done within the walls of the foster homes (or as some say jail cells), but of course there is the consequences for disobeying these endless amount of golden rules. It’s the simple idea of booting you from your current placement and putting you in with the worst offenders (sounds like a jail now eh?) in a group home. These mini versions of correctional facilities are filled with violence, theft, extortion and many other horrors which you wouldn’t expect from a child services industry made to keep our youths away from these negative influences. Being bad isn’t the only way to end up in a group home, but also being moved from location to location whether it’s because of retirement, foster parents getting fired (that’s right, I said it!) or what another child could’ve done. Ever ask a former foster child how the parents are treating them? Well the answer would have to be a yes only because of the tactics used to win the youth over (not candy or ice cream), but the love portrayed. I believe that foster parents should become actors once the main office has fallen. Foster parents are to show all children the art of “Artificial Love”. The only good that comes out of this is that when a child has been with that foster parent for a time, the love becomes real and this might just be the only good things about the society: 1) The parents are human (&) 2) The youths get what they truly deserve and the posters and the name finally come to be what they should be....
