Reply to "How does the general public percieve Foster Children?"

Well Jeff,

You cannot educate everyone! There are those that do not want to see or hear, at least not yet, not until it becomes personal. The one thing that people should keep in mind is that not all children in foster care are/have been abused. There are many reasons that children enter into the foster care system. Are there sociopaths in the "system", sure there are. However, it does not appear that the proportion of sociopaths is higher in foster/congregate care than it is in the general public. It does appear that there are a greater proportion of children in foster/congregate care on psychotropic medications than children of the same ages ranges in the general public.
