The Fleecing of Foster Children

Report by Children's Advocacy Institute on how states take foster kids money and leave them with nothing when they age out.

"The fraudulent use of a child’s Social Security benefits by a representative payee is of great concern. Usually a representative payee lives with the child and has firsthand knowledge of the long and short term needs of the child. However, with governments acting as representative payees for foster children, Social Security benefits are frequently dumped into an account and billed for services by someone who often has never even met the child let alone has intimate knowledge of the best interest needs of the child."

The next time someone tells you how wonderful the states take care of foster kids, make sure to send them this link.
