When I was 16 years old, I was ripped from my bed in the middle of the night and transported across state lines to the first of four youth residential treatment facilities. These programs promised healing, growth and support, but instead did not allow me to speak, move freely, or even look out a window for two years. I was force fed medications and sexually abused by the staff. I was violently restrained and dragged down hallways, strip naked and thrown into solitary confinement. My parents were completely deceived, lied to and manipulated by this for profit industry about the inhumane treatment I was experiencing. So can you only imagine the experience for youth who are placed by the state and don't have people regularly checking in on them? The treatment these kids have had to endure is criminal. These kids deserve to grow up in safe, family centered environments. I will not stop until America's youth is safe. If you are a child in the system, hear my words. I see you. I believe you. I know what you're going through and I won't give up on you. You are important, your future is important, and you deserve every opportunity to be safe and supportive.

This is another example of exactly what she is saying. Prayers for all the children for what they go through. 💙
