@Hollister146 20 дней назад

Yeah that's why I wouldn't confess to my teacher but she knew. Cops don't do nothing if you're called an " unruly child" for jumping out a moving car bc ur being punched in the face and running hiding in a store bc ur mom tried to run you over with her car bc out of 3 kids your blamed for clogging a toilet.

@MsTeelove07 11 дней назад

It's not as simple as that because some cases the child may not be truthful unfortunately. I would believe the child from the gate unless is proven otherwise. They need to investigate foster care allegations just a good as they claim to have investigated when they remove the child from their homes. I have seen cases where clearly the child should be removed and is not. I have seen cases where the child should have never been taken away from their own parents and placed in a double worse situation. This is something that needs to be talked about more but it's not. It's so sad law makers never push for CPS reform until a child is on the news

@pam164 11 дней назад

@MsTeelove07 I had a friend who fostered for a while ( she did it for the money) she was well off anyway but she was greedy for money, as soon as the children got naughty she would say she didn't want them. She stopped doing after a little while as she was house proud, and they were messing up the house. Think it's hard to find good Foster carers.

@@spiderfrommars8701I live in a very hot place, so I can tell you that staying in a car without air conditioner for so long when there are 90 degrees outside is absolute torture. It gets much hotter in the car. I was once left for like 10-15 minutes in a car with no air conditioning (there weren't air conditioners in all the cars back then, ours didn't have) in such weather when I was like 7 years old or so, also with open windows, I started crying at some point because it was so hot, I seriously suffered. They left the windows open, but if they kept them closed she could have died from the heat. Every summer a few infants here die because their parents accidentally forget them in the car for a while. 45 minutes is enough to kill an infant. I can't say this is the worst thing, this women suffered unbelievable amount of horrifying abuse. But trust me when I say, being left in a car on a hot day is not a small thing.

So many Black women, I've met/known, including my mother who died from gastro-intestinal carcinoma (stomache cancer) at the age of 57, have had harsh introductions to adult sexuality via sexual abuse/rape at tender ages of vulnerability; emotionally trumatic maturity, as well as needing/wanting to be loved. 😢😎😭 It really hurts to being Black/African-American in the US of A. It's a joy to hear this young lady finally found direction/guidance from the counselor who helped her come to terms with her past abuse, it's so good to hear of her 5 childrens successes.
