Children in foster care are significantly more likely to have mental health issues. They attempt or complete suicide at rates three to four times that of youths in the general population.
Everyone should know this. They put a kid no one loves into a house where they are very likely to experience physical and mental abuse from either the foster parent, the FP’s biological kids, other foster kids in the home, or friends/acquaintances who know they have power over them.
And then they expect them to not want to leave life? Jfc.
