Former foster child, foster care experts urge changes to system
DeAudre Ridley knows the foster care system and knows what needs to change.
He was in and out of 15 to 18 foster homes from age 8 in various Oklahoma towns, from Oklahoma City to Norman to Muskogee.
Now at 23, he considers himself lucky to have made it through childhood and graduated from the University of Oklahoma, since so many foster children he knows end up in jail.
