Former Foster Child & Advocate Focuses on System Flaws in Foster Care
Did you read about that poor kid in your morning paper and think about how awful it is that her parents abused and neglected her? Thank goodness the state has swooped in to rescue this child from such a terrible home. But wait, not so fast!
“Sometimes the foster care system can be worse than the horrible family life a child has endured,” says former foster child and advocate Margret Iuculano. “It was one foster home after another – one more possibility to get kicked down and pulled in half. It was one more opportunity to confront the truth; I was unwanted and unloved.” Iuculano based her new book “My Godbox” on her experiences in 15 different homes over 5 years.
