Question of the week
Steamboat Springs is considering adopting a social host ordinance, which would add harsher punishments — such as jail time — for adults who knowingly “host” parties where underage drinking is allowed. Do you think Craig needs a social host ordinance?

Oh gosh, I do understand. I was abused in foster homes also. I was put into a basement when my grandmother(licensed foster care mother) had too many children in her home. Time down in the dirt basement was frightening when I was 3.
I was forgotten many times and the lights were out. Not only was my grandmother a foster parent and horribly abusive, but my parents were also foster parents. I remember having a foster brother who was 9 and he had a cleft lip and wore dentures. My father constantly bullied him and forced him to eat at the the table without his teeth. Then remark what a pig he was as he ate. I was a victim of what happens in a foster care setting also, These were my growing up years as well, I was so effected by the abuses I learned to dissociate.
Both my grandmother and my parents became close friends with the social workers.
I did tell the social worker that was our foster brother. But she just went back to my parents, where I was then harshly treated for opening my big mouth. I was 12. Her name was then Ms Trudgen. In York, Pa. This was 41 years ago. How do social workers during those days, live with themselves today? do they seek out past cases? seek out making amends to those now adult children in her cases over the years?
