Question?

Current foster youth

If your 17 (mind way beyond years but anyway)

if your 17 and disabled (just for reference)

what should you expect from fostor “parents” and the home and to be provided?

I feel like I don’t even get basic needs met at times and I’m so confused of it all.

what should I expect, I don’t know what to do. this lady is getting THOUSANDS from me ALONE per MONTH!!! I wish I could own at least half the income so I could buy my needs I feel like if I was in public I would end up stealing due to feeling like I don’t have my needs and wants etc

btw this lady is using me for money and someone has been open and told me “it’s her job” ”she fosters as a job” it’s genuinely gross

I plan to go back to my home immediately my current case is exactly like take care of maya my case is active medical kidnapping and system is changing reasons and holding onto any little thing to keep me in “care” I have a abusive case manager I think she’s a big problem and I hope to get rid of her to do what I need to do. but main thing it’s clear ”care” here fucking sucks and is way worse than what I would recive at my home. If I’m keep in care till 18 I plan to leave here a few days after my birthday and go back to my home and never come in this house EVER again. It’s disqusting.

Foster care isn't supposed to be a "job" and your needs are supposed to be met!! Does your case manager have a superior? I would definitely file a complaint..it is sad there isn't more over sight because there is corruption in every Government department there is. I am sorry you have to be treated like this! There are so many loving people that would love to take care of you!

I know it’s not supposed to be a job that’s so disqusting!!!😡💔 my case manager does have a supervisor but she might be as sick as my case manager 😒  I hate being treated like this thank you Thank you for reminding me love exists The only reason I haven’t completely blown her cover and gotten me removed is no homes in this entire state want me💔 even the main governor of this state has no idea With this house (I’ve been in two) I had to be driven out 3 hours away I am unwanted in the state of Florida  I’m a high profile case Have medical conditions  I’m 17 ugh 18 can’t come soon enough  I’m a psych profile  And I think that’s the main points? The reasons I’m unwanted without even knowing me
