Summary:
In this episode of Kids At Risk Action, hosts Emma and Michael discuss the alarming failures within the child welfare system, focusing on the story of Yanelin Montalvo-Valdez, a woman who grew up in foster care and faced immense trauma, only to be further failed by the system as an adult. The episode sheds light on the systemic issues that leave vulnerable children exposed to abuse, neglect, and a lack of support as they age out of care, often leading them into homelessness or the criminal justice system. The hosts emphasize the urgent need for trauma-informed care, better support for children aging out of foster care, and reforms to ensure these children have a real chance at a better future. They call on lawmakers, communities, and listeners to prioritize child welfare and push for change.
