Forget Donald Vs. Hillary; Steemians Unite For A Political Issue That Matters, Lets Raise Awareness And Help This Man!!!!

This is Adam Crapser

Adam was adopted at age 3 and brought to the United States from South Korea. His adopted parents never applied for citizenship for him, many adopted parents don't know this is necessary. Adam is American, he grew up here, went to school here, and English is the only language he's ever known. When he was 10 years old, his adoptive parents abandoned him, and he was separated from his biological sister by the foster care system.

When Adam was 12 years old, he was placed with a foster couple, Thomas and Dolly Crapser. They physically and sexually abused Adam and other children in the home. In 1991, the couple was arrested for child abuse, sexual abuse and rape. The husband spent 3 months in jail, the wife served 3 years of probation. I wont go into my thoughts on how rapists and child molesters are coddled by our justice system. But after the abuse, he committed some crimes.

This issue is close to my heart, I was sexually assaulted in school, and went down the same path. But like Adam, I got my life straightened out and became a productive member of society. Unlike Adam, I'm not being deported!!! I can't describe as an American how ashamed this makes me of our country and our adoption and foster care systems. We failed to protect a child, to provide him with a safe and nurturing environment, and now that he's an adult with a family, we are punishing him for our failures.

Adam's children were born in America, they are American citizens. Adam doesn't speak Korean and is unfamiliar with the culture. Let's raise awareness for this mans plight!!! Repost, share, tweet, force the people that have the power to help him take action!!!!
