Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3040838, member: 9518"] Well said. Our present foster care and residential care which provides Out of Home Care (OOHC) is so underfunded and so badly run (Pay peanuts and you get monkeys) that most of these disadvantaged and 'at risk' kids have very little support. If they manage to make it past a custodial sentence in juvenile detention, once they reach their 18th birthday, virtually all support suddenly grinds to a halt. Many of these kids were 'pacified' through some horrific cocktails of prescribed drugs. Once they reach 18 they have to start paying for them and if they have not managed to find work by then it is next to impossible to continue filling the prescriptions. In addition, any form of psychiatric support is also only accessible if they are able to pay. [/QUOTE]
