The System

Every year, thousands of children are involved with the most challenging and terrifying system in existence. This system has produced some of the most prosperous, well-respected, highly successful adults this country has ever known. But, unfortunately, this same system has also produced some of the grimmest, most depraved psycho and sociopathic adults to ever walk in our society. These have become murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug and alcohol abusers, pushers, and prostitutes. This system, known as the foster care system, has been a part of our community for generations. In Georgia alone, there exists over three thousand six hundred foster homes, in which almost ten thousand children reside. Of these, thousands have been placed in therapeutic environments due to severe emotional damage. We will explore the lives of three different families and their integration with the system. We will also expose the system for all that it isthe good, the bad, and the ugly.
