We need to do better, and if you don't want me taking your children away, then you better do better by your child, not by me, by your child fool, because your children they love you, they don't love me and they damn sure don't wanna go with that fucking family down the street.
Ever wondered how the foster care system really works, especially for children who never seem to find a permanent home? In this episode of 'T.M.I. With Iggy', host Inacia Martin, better known as Iggy, tackles the tough questions surrounding child welfare. Drawing from her own experiences as a foster parent and a member of the Native American community, Iggy sheds light on the often-overlooked children who drift through multiple families without ever finding stability.
She stresses the importance of keeping siblings together and urges parents to take responsibility for their actions, putting their children's needs first. Iggy also dives into the systemic issues that make it so challenging for those who genuinely want to help. With her characteristic empathy and straightforwardness, she calls for more compassion and understanding to break the cycle of neglect and addiction.
This episode is a heartfelt plea for everyone to do better by their children, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by the foster care system or interested in child welfare.
