À propos de cette écoute
Listen in as Heaven Hampton, an ex-foster youth, talks about her experience in four different Youth Villages foster homes across Tennessee. She entered care at 15 with two younger siblings. Even though her older sister had already been placed in foster care, visitations were never scheduled and they were never placed together. Fearing further separation, Heaven began parenting her siblings to prevent disruptions. In the face of mistreatment by her foster families, she was ignored by her DCS caseworker. Heaven believes life skills such as digital literacy and driving should be prioritized by foster parents.
Despite foster care regulations mandating children and teens have beds to sleep on, Serena and Heaven talked about their experiences with couches being used as beds.
The names of foster parents in this episode have been altered.
Financial disclosure: Since the recording of this episode, Serena has received monetary assistance through Youth Connections’ Opportunity Passport in order to buy a car. The assistance she received was not dependent on favorable coverage.
