I will get 3 or 4 years at most to try and undo 14 years of abuse, there may well be physical difficulties as well, FASD or mental health issue, when they leave my house to a large degree they go back to the same ####hole they grew up in.
I have a large measure of success, the vast majority of my guys are working, some very successfully but I still have just buried a 25 year old who died of an overdose, at his funeral another one of my kids showed up in disguise as he has a Canada wide warrant out for stabbing someone in a robbery and the other lad that was living with me with those two ten years ago who was a red seal carpenter and crew foreman got back into the drugs and is currently at Saskatoon pre trial on a possession charge.
You have to realise these kids live in a whole different Canada from you or I, a third world Canada where crime and violence are normal and frankly offer them the only chance to have anything nice
