EXACTLY how I see it. Encouraging this kind of mental illness to create another class of “victims” isn’t a kindness, it’s doing them a disservice. It’s child abuse. It’s lunacy. One does not create a zebra by painting stripes on a horse, for crying out loud!
I think they are doing all this lunacy to try to get all the conservatives’ heads to explode.
This young person has had a truly horrible life. I would suggest that all read the linked article. Truly horrendous “up-bringing! I have no idea how to take care of this situation. But prison does not seem right. The kid is really messed-up, because of this;
“She has been in DCF custody since age 5. A legal complaint filed in federal court by attorney Aaron J. Romano and the girl’s affidavit describe a series of hellishly violent homes in which she has lived off-and-on since that age.
“I was placed in DCF custody because my father was incarcerated and my mother was using heroin, crack, alcohol and possibly other drugs,” the girl wrote.
“While in DCF custody, I have suffered immensely,” she added. “I feel that DCF has failed to protect me from harm and I am now thrown into prison because they have refused to help me.”

Romano charged: “While under the supervision and care of DCF, from ages eight through 16, Jane Doe was repeatedly drugged, beaten, raped, homeless and was being commercially sexually exploited.”
That’s pretty rough!
