Erin Fogg: I just don't believe in my city or the surrounding counties that there actually are 100 kids every night of the year every year who are all too dangerous to spend the night literally anywhere but inside a government cage

Thanks, Joe Biden www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hey parents, if your child has debilitating anxiety, please do not pay a bunch of strangers huge amounts of money to kidnap them out of their beds at night & blackbag transport them to an undisclosed location where they will experience up to years of severe torture and quite possibly being murdered

What kind of person is willing to cage a child, or any human at all, is something an awful lot more people need to be fucking asking themselves before the words "reform" ever cross their lips www.aclu.org/issues/juven...

America's Addiction to Juvenile Incarceration: State by Statewww.aclu.org On any given day, nearly 60,000 youth under age 18 are incarcerated in juvenile jails and prisons in the United States. For each state, this map shows the number of youth incarcerated per 100,000

Pro-tip: If u ever find yourself defending the widespread practice of caging children by patiently, like a saint, explaining how all these kids are actually inhuman beast monsters who WILL kill again, go ahead and do us all a favor & invite your plugged in air fryer into your next bubble bath

My state recently passed some laws that prioritize reform and rehabilitation in juvenile detention centers instead of being punishment-focused. Sadly, my local juvy is currently under investigation for abuse allegations…it’s sad. At least my governor is trying.

I just don't believe in my city or the surrounding counties that there actually are 100 kids every night of the year every year who are all too dangerous to spend the night literally anywhere but inside a government cage

And yet! There they are! About 100 kids in cages just here in my city! And if I try to help get them out, I will be caged at best but almost certainly killed to death by police shooting guns at me FEELS WEIRD TO LIVE LIKE THIS ACTUALLY

It’s honestly so sad. In my senior year of high school my English class had to read Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson and one of the parts that really hit hard was this kid that was incarcerated that Bryan had to represent in court. Absolutely destroyed me. I’m so glad my teacher had us read it, though.

It's fair for us to all to hurt at least a little while these kids with zero codified human rights of their own who will be hunted and caught and taken back to their abusers by the police should they escape can't escape their pain, pain that more kids could be safe from with just a few penstrokes

A foster kid in my town kept running away from his foster home. He ran away multiple times, and instead of trying to figure out why he was running away the cops would find him and the system would put him back in the foster home he was running from. Then the foster mom found out the foster dad (1/2)

was sexually abusing him and she turned him in and divorced him (thankfully). When it was on the news I was infuriated that no one looked into the reason he kept running away. That poor boy was failed by the system and considered a rebellious teen when he was just trying to escape abuse.

And kids who run away are considered criminals, too. They don’t even try to consider WHY they’re running away other than saying they’re bad. No. Maybe they’re being abused. Maybe they need help. Maybe they’re struggling with mental illness. If they’re running away they’re trying to escape something.
