Former foster children helping Fla. learn lessons

Former foster children helping Fla. learn lessons

It wouldn't have been surprising if India Marrero turned her back on the Department of Children & Families once she turned 18 and could finally walk away from the foster care system.

She was 11 when she and her younger sister were taken from an abusive home. Two years later, DCF found a former child protection case worker to adopt the girls. But the woman turned out to be physically and mentally abusive, at one point driving Marrero to Orange Blossom Trail, the Orlando street where prostitutes do business.
