| I had a couple of half-siblings go through foster care and juvie. Based on their stories, I'd prefer 1st degree burns to the palms over being turned over to social services in several major cities.
My parents periodically threw me out after age 15. I was very careful to avoid coming to the attention of social services. Living on the street was a significant improvement over what could happen to you in juvie, group homes, or foster care.... and that was 30 years ago - it's gotten worse.
