Karli can be the voice of the those foster kids silenced through cocktails of second generation antipsychotropics as lab rats, to tell their stories of being raped, beaten, and tortured, in the name of the tax exempt god.
Yes, Karli can even transform into children snatched from their parents at the border to be placed under the corporate guardianship of a foreign corporation as a ward of the state, without addressing citizenship once parental rights are terminated.
Let Karli tell the stories of how she witnessed our federal, state and local governments turn a blind eye to the massive levels of public corruption, the defalcation of the world's national treasuries by stealin' the children, the land and the vote.
Let Karli tell the stories of why she was snatched from her original guardians, stripped of identity and legacy through the salvaging of her soul, strictly for revenue maximization of Social Impact Bonds, of course.
Kari can bear witness to what really goes on in foster care, or Sesame Street could just get spoon fed lots of endowment grants to keep cloaking the residuals of the peculiar institution through colorful puppetry.
I watch with baited breath to see if Sesame Street will assist Karli, the Foster Muppet, to bear witness.
Since the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, running close to being a $10,000,000,000 operation, I am sure they can come up with a bit of funding to help this Karli the Foster Muppet Whistleblower Initiative by starting off and telling us what the Joan Ganz Cooney Fund for Vulnerable Children is because all I got was a non-existent Corporate Shape Shifter as their "Fund for Vulnerable Children" does not seem to exist.
How about funding the parents to hire competent attorneys to sue the states and these private, foreign corporate contractors by filing False Claims Act cases, that allow the kids to be sold, raped, drugged, tortured, beaten, and used as lab rats for your tax dollars?
'Sesame Street' introduces Karli, a Muppet in foster care
Elmo shares a moment with Karli, a Muppet in foster care, who was recently introduced to "Sesame Street" to support foster children and foster families .
In an effort to support foster children and families, there’s a new Muppet family living on Sesame Street.
Karli, and her “for-now” parents Dalia and Clem, was introduced Monday by Sesame Workshop to offer support foster children and foster families, the nonprofit educational organization behind the iconic children’s show said.
The effort is part of the Sesame Street in Communities program that helps provide free resources for caregivers and community providers on a number of difficult issues such as homelessness and traumatic experiences.
“Fostering a child takes patience, resilience, and sacrifice, and we know that caring adults hold the power to buffer the effects of traumatic experiences on young children,” Jeanette Betancourt, senior vice president of U.S. Social Impact at Sesame Workshop, said in a news release. “We want foster parents and providers to hear that what they do matters — they have the enormous job of building and rebuilding family structures and children’s sense of safety. By giving the adults in children’s lives the tools they need — with help from the Sesame Street Muppets — we can help both grownups and children feel seen and heard and give them a sense of hope for the future.”
The material, available in English and Spanish, offers digital and printable resources.

In a series of videos released on YouTube, Karli and her family share stories with Elmo about their love and the emotional struggles they face.
In one segment, titled “You Belong,” Karli shows Elmo all of the place settings at the dinner table for their pizza party, only to discover that her place mat is missing and she doesn’t have a place at the table.
“I don’t have a place,” Karli says.
As Clem, her foster dad, takes Karli aside to talk with her, Elmo asks Dalia, Elmo’s foster mom, what being a “for-now” parent means.
“Well, Elmo, sometimes even mommies and daddies need some help taking care of their children,” Dalia says, explaining that Karli’s birth mom is currently unable to take care of Karli.
“We will keep her safe until her mommy can take care of her again,” Dalia tells Elmo.
"Sesame Street" has introduced a number of Muppets as part of an effort to introduce children to real-life scenarios.
In April, Sesame Workshop launched resources and videos with 4-year-old Muppet, Julia, as part of an autism initiative. She was first introduced in 2015 through digital resources and premiered on a show in 2017.
Last year, Sesame Workshop reintroduced Lily, a 7-year-old Muppet experiencing homelessness. She was first introduced in 2011 when her family experienced food insecurity.
Sesame Workshop Launches New Initiative to Support Children in Foster Care
May 20, 2019
New videos, a storybook, and interactive activities feature Karli, a new Sesame Street Muppet in Foster Care, and her Foster Parents
(New York, NY) May 20, 2019—Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, announced today a new initiative to offer support to children, foster parents, and providers who serve foster families. The initiative features Karli, a young Sesame StreetMuppet in foster care, and her “for-now” parents, Dalia and Clem. Children in foster care often experience many transitions—from their separation from birth parents, to their placement in foster care, to many moves—and the new resources are designed to help children in crisis cope along the way.
The initiative is part of the Sesame Street in Communities program, which provides free, easy-to-use resources for community providers and caregivers on a range of topics, including tough issues like family homelessness and traumatic experiences. The free, bilingual resources released today help caregivers and providers support children as they navigate the world of foster care, and they provide simple, approachable tools to help reassure children and help them feel safer.
The number of children in foster care in the US has grown for five consecutive years. In 2017, nearly 443,000 children spent time in foster care—6 out of every 1,000 children in the US. Every 47 seconds a child is abused or neglected, and children under age 6 made up nearly half of all child maltreatment cases in 2015. Over 40 percent of all children in foster care in 2016 were under age 6. In response to the growing need for resources to serve children in foster care, Sesame Workshop partnered with national experts on foster care and tested materials with both foster parents and providers.The resources include proven strategies to bolster relationships between caring adults and children and mitigate the effects of traumatic experiences.
“Fostering a child takes patience, resilience, and sacrifice, and we know that caring adults hold the power to buffer the effects of traumatic experiences on young children,” said Dr. Jeanette Betancourt, Senior Vice President of US Social Impact at Sesame Workshop. “We want foster parents and providers to hear that what they do matters—they have the enormous job of building and rebuilding family structures and children’s sense of safety. By giving the adults in children’s lives the tools they need—with help from the Sesame Street Muppets—we can help both grownups and children feel seen and heard and give them a sense of hope for the future.”
The new resources include:
• New videos featuring Karli, her “for-now” parents, and Sesame Street friends,including: On Your Team, in which Elmo’s dad chats with his old friends Dalia and Clem, who are new foster parents to a little girl named Karli; You Belong, in which Karli worries she doesn’t have a “place at the table” at a pizza party with Elmo in her new foster home; and A Heart Can Grow, in which Karli shares with Elmo an art project that demonstrates that while she may feel like her heart is breaking, it can get bigger at the same time when more love is added.
• The Feeling Basket storybook: A storybook about “finding a place” for big feelings. Accompanying activities help children gain perspective on emotions and learn to label and talk about them.
• Digital interactives, including an Artmaker activity to help children express their feelings through drawing and a “Slow It Down” calming activity for children overwhelmed by big feelings.
• Tips for foster parents to give children coping and calming strategies and provide honest and age-appropriate ways to respond to children’s most difficult questions about foster care. The new materials help promote engagement between foster parents and children and provide ideas for comforting routines that caregivers can do with children anywhere.
Sesame Street in Communitiesis a program to help community providers, parents, and caregivers give children a strong and healthy start. Sesame Street in Communitiespartners with community providers to reach parents and caregivers with resources on topics ranging from healthy eating and school readiness to tougher issues like trauma and grief. The materials, which include videos, storybooks, digital interactives, games, and professional development resources, are available for free—in English and Spanish—at www.sesamestreetincommunities.org.
Sesame Workshop is implementing Sesame Street in Communitiesin Camden, NJ; Kansas City, MO and KS; Los Angeles, CA; Guilford County; NC; Transylvania County, NC; Memphis, TN; and Leland and Indianola, MS.
