Prosecutor uses his past, present to inspire foster children

When he speaks to kids in foster care or in group homes, Wilson's message is direct and unflinching: You might have been horribly abused, you might have been betrayed by the adults in your life, you might feel alone in the world. But that doesn't mean you have to be a victim for life. And it doesn't mean you have to victimize someone else.

A great mantra for foster kids.

"Our country pretty much pretends we don't exist," Wilson told the teenagers in the Capitol Hill church. "We have to change that." Toward that end, Wilson hopes to run for state delegate in Charles County. He said he would advocate for programs to help foster children make the transition to the working world when they "age out" of the system.

And herein lies the problem and it does just happen to foster children. It happens to all children and we parents allow it to happen!

Children are not seen as viable members of society--they never have been. All children are precious and should be treated as such. Wilson has provided us with a template and we should use it.
