I don't know if that's true or not. I think some kids in foster care probably wish they were dead rather than be there.
My nephew was born with spina bifida and immediately had surgery. He was so cute and pudgy and peaceful. Looking into his eyes you could tell right away he was such an old soul.
At 5 months old, my sister discovered he was incredibly emaciated after the hospital called and said no supplies had been ordered, doctors appointments missed.
He was only 11lbs when he was admitted to critical care. Custody was turned over to my sister and he has grown like a weed ever since. He did not talk until he was 4 years old and then suddenly just said everything as if he was really listening all along. He is ALWAYS smiling.
What do you think happened to my niece and her boyfriend? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Child protective services even left my niece in their care for another SIX MONTHS before taking her away.
They still walk around, doing drugs, neglecting life.
Here is his progress to a year.
