Oregon lawmakers should VOTE NO on HB 3835 which loosens protections for foster youth, and reopens the floodgates to sending vulnerable kids to abusive residential programs out of state again. Kids deserve better! #ORPOL #TTI #FosterYouth #FosterCare #ChildAbusePrevention #Oregon #ChildrensRights

#CorneliusFrederick would be turning 22 this year, free from the foster care system. Staff killed him for throwing a sandwich while his peers watched. 5/1 is the anniversary of his death. This is what the #TTI looks like. Look at this beautiful boy who was killed by his “treatment providers.” RIP

Educating people about the Troubled Teen Industry has been one of the most personally & professionally fulfilling things I’ve done. I am starting my unit on the TTI in my Children & the Law class next week. Future advocates coming right up! Once you know, you can’t help but join the fight!
