Baltimore Children In Foster Care And School Don't Matter To The Black Community

IT APPEARS THAT BALTIMORE BLACK CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE AND SCHOOL DON'T MATTER TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY! THERE IS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR BLACK CHILDREN IN BALTIMORE BUT THAT IS ALL IT IS TALK.

Children across Baltimore need people to love them through all their challenges, their ups and their downs. We keep talking about what need to be done, criticizing children, when are we all done our children are still need guidance, love, family, and to know that someone cares. There are too many children who have parents do not love them, and families have abandoned them. Too many children will age out of foster care with no family or adult support system to guide them.

We need black men with a courage, patience, love, and strength to join me and foster our boys with challenges. Our boys need personal advocates who willing to stand up for them, demand the best for them, and leave them alone.
