@BillyLeeRice@c0d3w4rri0r@MibshaD My parents actively tried to adopt. They specifically applied for "foster to adopt"
We were consistently sent "foster to reintegrate" cases, under the age of 2.
We loved those kids and cared for them of course, but don't pretend that these systems are entirely separate.
@c0d3w4rri0r@MibshaD "C sections exist", as if that doesnt mean taking most of the internal organs out of the body to remove the baby, putting that all back into place and hoping that the complications (heavy bleeding, infection, breathing problems for the infant, DEATH) dont kill her first.
@c0d3w4rri0r@MibshaD Are you a foster parent? My parents are. We've cared for 3 infants in under a year, all due to child abuse. Dont talk about things you have zero experience in.
@c0d3w4rri0r@MibshaD (That* doesnt* my bad lol)
Immediately homeless upon aging out. Foster kids are also the most likely to be trafficked due to shitty casekeeping.
@c0d3w4rri0r@MibshaD Rhat dowsnt prevent the trauma done to a premature body that happens with childbirth, and the long list of complications that cone with it. Also, the foster care system in the US is horrifically corrupt. More often than not the kids are abused, and the ones who age out are 1/2
@GretMymum87053@hell_line0 That was sexual assault and pedophilia, and I am so sorry you went through that. Sexual assault is considered any touching that is sexual in nature and not consented to. Being a child at the time, you couldnt have consented in any way shape or form.
@tugberk37 This is a transgender man who was born with cerebral palsey. He is entirely mentally competent, and even graduated college with honors. Youre just a dick who hates trans and disabled people.
Ah, yes. July, 1985- the new 2020.
Genetics just goes further than your highschool biology class. Science supports trans people, politicians just dont.

The pilots might have spoken Hebrew, but the machinery of death's first language is English."
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are arresting unaccompanied minors, trafficking them across state borders, and then “losing”them.
Sixteen-year-old Sebastian, an asylum-seeker from Ecuador, was driving in Minneapolis when immigration agents pulled him over in early January. He managed to call his father before they confiscated his phone.
Then he disappeared.
Instead of processing him locally, federal agents moved him from holding area to holding area, kept him overnight in a HOTEL under guard, and then flew him to Michigan.
He was placed in a federally contracted Christian youth shelter, and given 5 vaccines.
All while his family had no idea where he was.
For nearly a week, the government could not… or would not… tell his father where his 16-year-old son had been taken. When his attorney filed an emergency petition, an ICE lawyer responded that it “does not appear that this Petitioner is in ICE custody.”
He had been arrested by ICE… He had been transported by ICE.
But suddenly, according to ICE, he wasn’t in ICE custody.
After agents picked him up, they labeled him an “unaccompanied minor” and issued him a new alien number, even though he already had one as an asylum-seeker.
That second number made him nearly impossible to track once he was transferred into the federal shelter system.
When his lawyer finally located him in Michigan, he had been confined for over a week, he was not allowed to disclose his location to his father, his movement was restricted, and his communication was monitored.
This is what they are calling “ensuring safety.”
The shelter he was sent to… Bridgeway, operated by Bethany Christian Services…has a documented history of violations.
In 2023, a counselor there was charged with sexually abusing immigrant youth. State inspections later found compliance failures, including background check issues and evidence of staff hazing children.
This facility receives millions in federal funding.
Sebastian’s family was lucky. They were able to hire a lawyer. They were able to track him through paperwork the government claimed did not exist. They were able to physically show up and get him out.
How many families don’t have that kind of help?
How many parents are calling numbers that lead nowhere?
How many children are sitting in facilities under new identification numbers, waiting for someone to figure out where they’ve been sent?
If it takes a federal court order, and private investigators, to locate a 16-year-old the government admits it picked up…
That’s a system where the government is knowingly trafficking children, unless their family has the resources to pull them back.
@TinyTigerXO@TheNerdyCatLady An old ex friend has posted THREE TIMES that she needs to rehome her ELDERLY BEAGLE. Poor thing cant get around very well anymore, and all hes know his whole life is her.
She could sure as hell bring the other dog and the cat, though.
@MoonlitSalem@Mysti_Sky I used to work at a vet clinic. Yeah. There's no fucking way you can do ANYTHING with an injury. What the fuck are these managers thinking? I hope you win the lawsuit, what they did to both of you is so insanely illegal
