Oklahoma DHS is a fucking disgrace.
There needs to be a federal investigation.
I’ve sat in fucking court and hear them laugh off runaways. Zero interest in looking for them, zero care.
And a kid is fucking DEAD.
She ran away multiple times, and with those kinds of kids, they basically stop caring. Same with the ones who attempt to kill themselves multiple times - in the words of the director of Kiamachi Youth Services, they are “lemons.”
Never a consideration that death often would be preferable to the hell holes we call group homes. It’s fucking sick. I’ve been in the room and heard the complete callousness in the way they talk about these kids.
