In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

Pay attention to how the media talks about the latest dump of Epstein photos.
These were not “women”.
They were girls.
They were children.
It’s important we name them properly.
These men raped children. They’re pedophiles. And it’s time they be brought to justice.

15 Year Olds are Children and they Need Protection
Why are we debating if pedophilia is 'really that bad'? To protect pedophiles. This carefully crafted PR narrative is designed to make you think children can consent to sex with adults. They can't.
