Watch What Happens When Former NYC Foster Kids Speak Truth to Power [JJIE.org]

Fifty years ago, in N.Y.S., as an "Emancipated Minor", I too, would have welcomed some "help" when I left a state-run youth home, and "transitioned" to my own apartment, after "couch-surfing" for two months, during my senior year in High School [working part-time for Kodak]. It's hard to imagine that fifty years later, such challenges for young people, in N.Y.S., still exist. I later witnessed it in the Southeast Bronx, in the early 1970's, where medical residents in a brownstone took in teenagers still attending high school. Kudos to JJIE for publishing this, and taking an advocacy role in this public policy matter.
