I have to admit my ignorance on this, so correct me if I'm wrong.
The more I see on here and read in the news about failings in state care for children, the more appalled I am. It must be absolutely terrifying to be coming up to your 18th birthday, knowing that from then on you're on your own. Imagine sitting your A-levels through that. Living in a hostel, no safety net, no bank of Mum and Dad, no home for the holidays if you go to uni, no one who gives a flying fuck, just you slogging your way to haul yourself into adulthood. Kids are leaving foster placements and children's homes not knowing how to cook, do laundry or manage a budget. WTAF. Kicking kids out at 18 totally unprepared for the world and washing your hands of them isn't care. It shouldn't be up to charities to try to pick up the pieces.
YABU - you have no idea what you're talking about and children leaving care are well supported.
YANBU - it's disgraceful.
Any pointers to campaigns/charities/more info in this area would be welcome too.
