Tennessee is considering a bill tomorrow that would put foster kids with no criminal record in prison. Similar policies have led to mass r*pe and t*rture of innocent children in prison in New Hampshire other states. You can help us kill this bill today. Tennessee (like many other states) has so many foster kids that they don't know what to do with them. Many of these kids are being taken from innocent parents, because they get federal money for every kid they take. Because of this, they want to label foster children "in need of heightened supervision" and put in prison with juvenile offenders. New Hampshire did this with the "Youth Development Center" prison. As a result, over 2000 foster kids were abused. Imagine the things that happen to people in prison. That was being done to foster kids who had committed no crime. One child, David Meehan, says he was r*ped and beaten hundreds of times by YDC staff. He recently won a $38 million lawsuit for it. We're going to stop even a single Tennessee foster child from suffering David's fate. In this thread, I'll tell you how you can help.
