8. and no one even speaks of the broken spirit
or attempts to heal it. an absolute atrocity, imho. to numb and subdue the life force of a child. how ridiculous. I had a foster child with impulse control problems and it was deemed he needed ritalin to remain in school. he was five and born addicted to heroin and had fetal alcohol syndrome. the entire left side of his face went slack, downturned mouth, droopy eye and cheek. he cried a lonely moanful cry through the night. I secretly stopped the drugs and put him in taekwondo.

I adopted him and his two sisters. he thrived in school, is now in college, head cashier at a target store and drives a bmw.

so there.
