There are over 400,000 kids in the U.S. foster system, and many people think that’s because those children have “bad” parents. Adrien Lewis, founder and president of CarePortal, knows that that’s often not the case.
In many instances, it’s not abuse that’s fueling the foster care crisis, but rather neglect stemming from the overwhelming effects of poverty in America’s families. Many parents are struggling to secure the vital means and support they need to provide for their family’s basic needs, and the system punishes them for it. That’s where CarePortal steps in.
This technology bridges the gap between social service agencies and the community, ensuring timely assistance for families with immediate needs. Members of the community can directly respond to alerts about families in need, providing tangible resources that can potentially prevent children from being placed in foster care. CarePortal has already made significant strides, currently operating in 30 states and aiding over 200,000 children and their families.

@@StandTogetherCCI was abused and am being stalked still by pedophiles who made me paperwork disappear. They were jehovah witnesses who made my parents kick me out at age 12 because I was born a mute who was learning how to speak out loud. They killed many children in my family. There are many missing children who match my deceased family members names. Can someone please help me
We need this in butler county ohio My story is very similar to this girls
There are some kids when u get them that are so messy up no matter how much love or safety u give them they turn your house up side down and people and family are seeing it it's hard . When u try to help but there are no progress
I was labeled "out of control" and tossed out with the trash when I was 17. Now, three decades later, I've come to the conclusions that while I was indeed a troubled kid, none of my behavioral issues could even be remotely construed as "out of control. Many such cases. Sad
If I was a foster care parent I would have to break the law to investigate if the parent was truly an abuser.
Most of the time it isn't hard to tell. My placement right now will say and do things that make me cry because her knowing those things and those words at 4 is horrific. You can see the abuse in her
@@emilyyoung8552 again I would need to investigate because cps is corrupt and so is the foster care system
The foster care parents are selfish and rarely treat children with respect. Look at you talking about the child. You can’t even maintain the child’s privacy. You should not say one word about the child to anyone.
Sexual abuse is rampant in all families but it's easier to blame others.
Rampant in all families? No, it is not. There are safe families.
Life is hard from the foster support system for kids
People need to stop looking at a Foster care system as replacement for a family.
But in many ways can it improve.
One way is to Listen to the children: the child can be in control, they can voice whom they’re comfortable with whom they’re not comfortable with and things don’t always have to be dire. It just has to be making the child comfortable.
Because they’re out of very vulnerable development age and if you want responsible, emotionally, healthy adults eventually or even teenagers you’re going to have to set that foundation for them to be emotionally, healthy, and safe as children.
Stop splitting up siblings.
Idk why they keep doing this but their family and they should be raised together and don’t let foster parents break them up . They’re raising kids not puppies so separation hurts HUMAN BEINGS 10x more than a dog that don’t know or care.
And stop telling the workers not to care. Stop removing the humanity from the job.
We have become so good at a removing humanity form every single job possible.
The Law, Tecahers, Customer Servuce! It’s TOO much!
We need humanity especially for this job!
Cuz these kids need people that care!
I'm a former quasi insider. They do lie even in court in order to keep the child. I've seen them discuss which child to abduct to meet a foster parents need for the money. It's human trafficking 9/10 times.
Can u explain briefly
@@renarich4942 it's an industry. 90% of kids in care need not be there. I've interviewed 400 to 450 mostly former or current kids in care. 'They lied about my parents'. There's verified,published research that show they do more harm than good. As the poor life outcomes are no a correlation to being in care but causal. They have a cult like rationalization for the harms they do. No respect for the childsvwell being. When abused in care and the child comes forward they are harmed. Cover up after Cover up.
Wow that's amazing the truth is coming out. These people will soon all end up in prison for life. One by one it will happen..
As a child adopted out at 16, the state paid a large sum of money to the adoptive parent every month to keep me and when I was adopted, there was another payout. My last caseworker quit because she didn't want to bow down to the corrupt system
I'm currently happening to me right now over some bs opinion her school was lying about!
So sorry
They are TRAUMATIZING THE CHILDREN BY REMOVING THEM FROM THE HOME AND PARENTS. THEY DONT HELP REUNIFIY. THEY ABUSE FAMILIES AND LIE ABOUT IT. FEEL HOPELESS IS WHAT THEY WANT. THEY DO NOT CARE THEY DO CARE ABOUT MONEY THEY CAN GET BY DESTROYING A FAMILY. IT WILL All come to LIGHT, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT FROM THE CHILDREN.
The amount of money they give you is nothing compared to put up with the kids the doctor's appointments all the scheduling everything you got to do You're not pay you enough to deal with these children and then when you do with the kids and help them out it's not the kids only give you sometimes heartache or the situation of the thought of the care system gives you the heartache even when you try to do good for the children so it's not just about the money people don't do just for the money
I've been thinking, why are foster parents earning a salary? Money is too dangerous in this system. Food and supplies should be issued rather than money, to weed out the bad people.
When we seriously looked in to doing foster care and learned what it paid, I did the math. For fun. If you parent 24/7, it was .50 an hour. So I could not understand all the comments about “people just do it for the money”. I think abusers do it because they like control and abuse. Maybe some like the praise. But the money is not it.
@@paigemama5904 exactly
@paigemama5904 Thank you for pointing this out. I am a carer and can tell anyone with certainty it is not a money-making exercise.
As a foster parent I can absolutely promise that that small check doesn't come close to paying for what a child cost. But also this is misleading because these kids aren't taken because of poverty. Just look at the millions of kids than are growing up and have already grown through poverty and parents did just fine raising them. Poverty is just being used as an excuse of bad behavior.
As a foster parent of medically complicated children, I have had portions of my house destroyed and children run out of medical supplies that I have purchased. I don’t know how fast you think the government works but they would never get me a new window, or carpet cleaning supplies for the feces or an NG tube in any practical time for “supplies to be issued” to me.
I noticed ocs is more geared on how to pour gas onto the fire instead of water!
I would face housing needs as a chemist and chemical engineer if I weren't living at my parents house.
How do we get help being a family in crisis here in alaska? What little I've found I can't find any help yet!
What type of help are you needing?
Whatever you do don't ask CPS FOR HELP. THEY ONLY DESTROY FAMILIES.
We didn't even get to be there 15 minutes then we had to go
Poverty and food poverty food poverty home poverty
I pray the try everything to keep the kids with the real parents!
God is not a dead man
THEY DONT DO ANYTHING TO REUNIFIY FAMILIES. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. AND THEY WILL LIE AND MAKEUP STUFF SO THEY CAN GET THE MONEY AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE SCAM. THEY TRAMATIZE FAMILIES AND ABUSE THEM TO KEEP FUNDING. ABOLISH. THIS WASTE OF PROTECTING CHILDREN, ITS NOT WORKING.

This kind of stuff is why I'm a libertarian. Freedom is progress. Freedom is efficiency. Freedom facilitates love, care, and opportunity.
Thank you for sharing!
Everyone is libertarian until they grow up. Foster care would be worse without a government, sorry to say. Stay off the roads and don't use the USPS either!
@@iiiiilllllllll I was completely undecided politically for almost 30 years because I did not have the arrogance to think I knew how to run things. When I got educated in economics, I became a classical liberal and drifted further and further into libertarianism from there the more I learned and verified that markets produce better outcomes. I wonder if you have been so rigorous in your studies to make such claims as you do. Avoid the free market and get all your goods from the state and let me know how that turns out for you.
@@ethangroat8333 I'm still a bit of a lolbertarian, but only because I'm selfish. Who pays for jails?
@@donaldothomoson
Not really, I'm living proof of that. I was raised in a neoliberal oligarchy (Murica!) and believed firmly in free markets and libertarian ideals. Then life hit me (severe debt payments, unemployment, etc) and I read history in university (majored in Engineering, took LOTS history side classes) and changed my leanings from that to being a full on communist. Whether you agree with my political / economic affiliation or not, you are absolutely wrong when you say political affiliations don't change in life much. They absolutely change depending on one's experiences and education.

For a REPUBLICAN FOUNDATION to talk about poverty and inequality sounds like a joke to me because they are the first people supporting the rich Number 1% population of America to preserve the status quo! Neglecting marginalized communities to lose access to SSI, affordable housing, and social programs that benefit the poor. Look at FL, a Republican State, where it is illegal to be homeless, but there are no places to place them. 85% of inmates are either homeless or have some kind of mental health issue, and there are no services to serve them either. So, #StandTogether and the Cock Brothers should invest in helping others not only to bring grassroots organizations to call and mobilize people to support more of their “candidates to Congress and President” but to hold them accountable when their constituents are affected by their own political agenda.
This is shameful! It is a disgrace! Because they helped elect a governor who does nothing for poor people, DCF, and are homeless!
Makes u feel like u have to give them back cuz it gets bad just taking the child to the beach and they are acting up and screaming bitting and other kids and u try to put them in time out then they act even worse screaming that the hole park turns and look at the child and u but u are not next to the kids as they are having there tantrums
Lost me at the ⛪️!
