Thank you for that.
I don't know if Jennifer or Tracie can help me with my next question.
Last December, with the help of our local communities, the youth corps decided to raise money for blankets, towels and equipment, and funds to go down to feed the homeless. This is a very shocking story, so I apologize up front to anyone who's going to be upset by my sharing this story with you. Although these types of events are rewarding, they're also very depressing. I came across a young boy who was 10 years old and living on the streets.
We talked about violence. Earlier, it was said that parents are the best resources for children. As much as I agree with that, I sometimes think that it's not always the case. This young boy was in several different foster homes and he kept escaping. The only way for him to survive was to sell drugs from the local drug dealer, so that he could afford the bare necessities of life. It was very sad for me to see that. He is addicted. He admitted it. He is addicted to the drugs of choice, but he had no choice.
How do we educate and help social workers to identify these situations, so that we don't continue to have 10-year-olds living on the street?
I don't know who wants to take that question.
