Imagine a teenager -- let's say she's a 13 years old with purple, butterfly hairpins -- who lacks a voice, a family and even a home. Now, stop imagining, because she's real and probably lives within 100 miles of you. I see her often in my line of work. The truth is, she exists all over our country, yet many of us remain unaware. We remain unaware of all of the young boys and girls who lack a voice, a family and/or a home because they remain in a system that leaves them powerless.
