This is a great movie any American should be required to see. This movie is almost unbearable to watch. It is even more unbearable to know it is based on a true story. The reality is that the foster parent system in the US is broken and a lot of foster parents are taking children in strictly for the cash, little of which is spent on the children. The "foster parent" in this story is certifiably a sadist, but even the ones who are not are people you likely would not allow to adopt a goldfish if you knew them. That's foster care.
