You're 100% right on this, and it's not something that a lot of people can grasp the full extent of.

I'm in CPS, and we're always so grateful to have group homes with a mental health component, but there just aren't enough of them. Some of these kids are essentially mini versions of the hardened combat veteran you see depicted in movies, because they've seen more shit than any person should have to experience, and are so shaped by that experience that they have behaviors that basically prevent there ever being an escape to something better.

So family members or church groups take them in and want to save them, but don't fully comprehend that some of these kids are so sexually traumatized and normalize sex acts as currency that they will absolutely use what they know and victimize other kids.

There are some that there is absolutely nowhere that they can go, because they are such a danger to not only themselves, but everyone around them that could be vulnerable. And it's terrifying, because underneath they are intelligent, wonderful, sweet kids. But they are so damaged from the start that there's not much you can do to fix it. It ends up being 18 years of damage control and then unleashing a sad, beaten wolf in sheeps clothing out into the world and hoping that they can do good, or at least do no harm.
