#314 Jen Lilley - The Dark Truth About the American Foster Care System
"This is not something that you should do. I write about it in my book, like, it's totally shady and it's not something you should do. And I'm like, whatever. I created catfish accounts, which is like a social media profile that's not real. And I knew what was going on with the bio parents' actual life to keep my kids safe. Caden's case was bleak. Like, it was like, I'm gonna do this because if I don't, like, he's dead."
Jen Lilly confessed to creating fake social media profiles to track her foster children's biological parents, including monitoring a pregnancy announcement. She justified the surveillance as necessary to protect an endangered child from imminent death, revealing the lengths foster parents take when official systems fail.
