Far too often children look to each other for comfort when they are being abused. However this job is not for teens to handle. The youth in the foster care system face many injustices. Boys and girls alike are being sexually harassed and abused, physically and mentally tortured.
When these young people attempt to seek help from law enforcement, councilors or trusted adults they are turned away and disregarded.
This petition issues the need for attention that these children require. Whenever a child builds up the courage to announce that they are being attacked it is Law Enforcement that should be the first to do al that is possible to save these kids from the threat posed to them.
