I was in a foster home with penny lane in 2010, I was forced onto birth control and threatened to be placed into a group home if I refused, and a penny lane social worker was present for the conversation. I was laughed at when I said I didn’t ever think about s3x or even wanted to have it. It took many medications more than 2-3 years later to get my period to start again, and some years after that I was diagnosed with a reproductive disorder that other foster girls nationally have been diagnosed with after being forced into birth control like I was. When I wrote to Penny lane about this (can’t remember who I wrote to) I was basically told “whoops, that sucks, but it’s not our fault.” I feel like it at LEAST is partially, as it was a foster parent and social worker that you guys trained. It’s just a shame.
