the movie 'foster boy' is getting a wider release mar 1.

i'm super happy to see this. not just because the writer/lawyer who made it happen is a friend of mine but because it is a super important topic.
that is so everywhere, but here in illinois the system remains a nightmare.
like this story of a 10 yo girl who was repeatedly sexually abused. she remains in the psyche ward because they have nowhere to place her, but her attackers remain free.

so, i take it personally that my otherwise great governor has not done much to get a handle on this bullshit.
but it is everywhere and we are paying for it.
it needs to stop.
