Are there no foster homes in Cayman ? Wouldn’t that be a better alternative than placing them in a group home where it seems like something is very wrong ?
Many are very damaged because of the abuse and neglect they have experienced within their families, They need expert psychological support not containment..
they dont know how to treat children and i cant believe she been in there this whole time!!!
Is this person not old enough to be released to there own free will?
No. She is not 18 and is subsequently not an adult and needs adult supervision.
We need qualified, educated people running the homes for our young people; these girls have stories to tell and nobody is listening!
