Hefty, The Official Luggage of the Foster Care System

Hefty, The Official Luggage of the Foster Care System

The bad news: There are over 400,000 kids in foster care in the US, many of whom are moved four or more times per year. Its no wonder they feel unwanted. It has been estimated that 50% of foster kids end up homeless when they age out of the system. These kids are approached by a trafficker (pimp) within 48 hours of being homeless. The fourth time a trafficker approaches a homeless youth (often with a burger and fries), the young person succumbs. Thats how abused kids end up in prostitution. When these young people find themselves in a life they cannot get out of, they often medicate themselves. Thats how abused kids end up on drugs.
