It's really a stain on this country that as soon as someone reaches 18 they are on their own
These kids have gone through enough we have to treat them better.

Well apparently many politicians believe that kids are mature enough to vote at 16, that being so someone 2 years older should be able to look after themselves?
Yes I am being facetious. you're right Jim, these poor buggers have had a hard enough start and deserve better. Right now a very large chunk of the Uk can say that though. |  | | |

LA has responsibilities until 21. I ran a programme in in LA to improve the provision for care leavers. Each young person had a plan with a tailored set of actions that could include for example a mentor, health and education support, transition to work support and a housing officer etc.
The support was designed in part by the care leavers themselves and some are f them were well placed for life as an adult others were obviously in need of a lot of support.

There are thousands of kids dealt a poor hand, yes, they need a helping hand, but the sooner they learn that the world doesn't owe you a living, the better the chance they'll have of making something of their lives. |  |
