I super get it if you don’t wanna engage with even more stories of foster kids being abused given that you seem to do so a ton already, but this one’s an experience that stands out to me

My brother was placed with us when he was less than a year old. He had a cast on his leg because (and this is speculation because the previous foster dad denied doing anything) he’d been repeatedly slammed against a wall and then his leg was broken over someone’s thigh. The doctor said that his bones were still so flexible that for the break to be this bad it would have had to be intentional sustained pressure. Kid has major anger issues now but he can’t remember the trauma so it’s hard to work through. I just don’t understand opening up your home to a kid and then taking out so much anger on them. I think we have a picture of him somewhere with his eye still swollen shit. And he needed PT for a while because he learned to crawl in a cast

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
