I know many of you are aware of this story, but for those who aren't, I will link it:

This story tells about the government's use of foster children to test AIDS drugs. As with any government story, I use the standard line "when the government finally DOES tell you the truth, it only makes you wonder more about what they're NOT telling you".
I grew up in "foster farms". Most other foster children in my placements were on some sort of regular medication or another. I cannot help but wonder how many of them were used as medical "guinea pigs" by a system that had deemed their life to be worthless.
The fight against CPS is not just a fight to protect parents who are innocent and return their children to the homes of those parents who dearly love them; it is also a fight for the rights of those children who are in foster care for the RIGHT reasons; to end the years of abuse by an uncaring bureaucracy that have led many of them to a life of crime, suicide, sexual promiscuity or drugs. And to do that, we need to expose stories such as this one as well.
