First Annual Walk for Survivors of Child Rape and Abuse in Foster Care

Today, Kevin and I joined in the First Annual Walk for Survivors of Child Rape and Abuse in Foster Care.

At the legislature, Sherri McQueen spoke movingly about the situation of survivors and the devastating after effects of abuse while in foster care

We heard many stories of abuse from the survivors who participated in the rally. It reinforced our view that there needs to be a proper judicial investigation into what has happened.

Many of the survivors also had some suggestions for making changes. Clearly the system needs changes and Kevin and I will be working with the survivors to do what we can.
