  1. The other side uses social media to expose the fraud committed in child welfare as well.

    What a wonderful way to open up the eyes of the ignorant and have your victims organize and communicate.

  2. There is a need to raise awareness but there is a greater demand for full public disclosure. Many youth in foster care experience abuse and neglect yet it is never reported to a prospective alternative family nor the courts. Social media should be properly used to inform the public of all facets of a situation, including updates on reforms.
