It’s just not the Department of Defense that should be ashamed of Juvenile on Juvenile Sexual Assaults/ Rape on Military Installations, but the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Service; who can not keep juveniles safe on military installation. Enough is Enough! 700 families and counting with no justice. This dirty secret is starting to crack open, slowly, but it’s cracking open for sure. We definitely have a problem with Juvenile Sexual Predator, and no one really wants to address this problem. Well, this is why I’m speaking out as a mother to a Juvenile Rape Survivor!
My daughter will never feel shame of her rape; but she needs to feel safe. Three different Cabinet Secretaries should feel this burden of shame; for years DoD and DoJ knew about Juvenile on Juvenile Sexual Assaults/Rapes and did nothing. Juvenile Sexual Predators are not held accountable for their actions on military installations. And as for DHHS, for years they’ve known about Juvenile Sexual Predators in foster care system; juvenile foster children are misdiagnosed and lack of proper treatment is ignored, so these broken children from abuse and neglect are still falling through the cracks; hurry up and move children into homes is the goal. DHHS don't understand what these broken children are going through, because they are not in the trenches with foster/adoptive parents, so proper treatment for mental and behavioral problems is lacking so much in our community.
The trauma of the abuse and neglect is one thing; but, family separation, no matter how terrible it is, cause more trauma. No amount of classes taught through foster care, could have prepared for our roller coaster ride of horrors; lying, stealing, raging, manipulated, is just the tip of the iceberg that complex trauma that destroys families. Biological children are hurt the worse, they are forgotten! Psychology, physical, and sexual abused by the adopted child/ren is the dirty little secret from DSS; I’m sure there are some successful adoptions from foster care; but our adoption is not one of them. The realization know that our adopted children who have sever mental and behavioral health problems is a hard pill to swallow, no matter what talk therapy we use, or have our children involvement in the arts and sports, church activities, and of course scouts. My children who are adopted are broken.
Adoption from foster care is not the same as it was 30-50 years ago; the intergenerational trauma getting pass down is real, DNA changes with high stress daily. Which no one at the congressional level really wants to talk about, technically Congress will have a "study" and "research" done. And that’s what they’re really good at; prolonging any type of common sense plan for the children who truly needs helps. Especially with todays climate; congress and MSM "we got to beat Trump or Obama is not right'. American people have real world problems, and as for me, no Democrat or Republican President will understand this; just like our policy makers. DHHS for foster care need reform from bottom/up to left to right. Foster/Adoption families needs all types of resources to help heal the broken children, no matter the cost and therapy. The right therapy that can help, but it is denied. Prison should be the last resort. Shame on DHHS and DOJ
If you have read this, please share this blog. People need to understand about Juvenile on Juvenile Sexual Assaults/ Rapes on Military Installation, and DHHS lack of understanding of Reactive Attachment Disorder and how broken children are still falling through the cracks from lack of proper treatment.
