Whats youre stand on the treatment of foster youth in america?

Question by poop head mgee: Whats youre stand on the treatment of foster youth in america?
Most people think that a child in an orphanage is there on his own accord, I.E. his or her behavior, or that they cant function in society. I was placed in an orphanage at the age of 8. The orphanage i was placed in was a 30 bed facility. These facilitys are called residential treatment facilitys, with padded walls, electronic locks on the doors, and on campus schools. You are not allowed to enteract socialy with any one out side the facility unless outherwise approved by the court. These facilitys follow the same guidlines and protacall as juvinile detincion centers (juvie hall) yet these kids only fell victom to there parents drug abuse, or physical abuse, neglect, or abandoment etc… These kids arent there becouse they commited any crime. These kids arent adopted out, couse people only adopt babies. These kids are treated like prisoners untell they are 18 when they are given nothing but the clothes on there backs and asked to leave.
Why is this acceptable?

I think the Foster System sucks. We need to change it but the rules are established by our laws so get on the bandstand and fight. Proud of you. Love you. The system is not acceptable to me and I believe TV programs are revealing a lot of that on their so called “fictional programs.”
