Aka slavery. The stories of foster kids are often horrific.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit on the behalf of all foster children (past and present) against the US government. It would almost be impossible for any other modern country to do a worse job.

I'd like to see that happen, with meaningful reparations and meaningful, systemic changes and better oversight.
