Lynn Factor, a social worker who works with troubled youth recently had an award named after her. This was the Lynn Factor Stand Up for Kids National Award and was created by the Children's Aid Society of Canada.
In Canada, over 235,000 young people live in abusive situations and over 67,000 live in foster care, according to the foundation, which claims that it helps youth in the child welfare system go from, ''surviving to thriving''.
Ms. Factor has worked for 35 years in the foundation, as well as the chair of the Covenant House sex trafficking committee, the Toronto Children's Aid Society, and Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Center in Toronto.
It's horrifying that such organizations should be felt necessary and one should be horrified at the figures they have disclosed; another example of the sick society we live in. Though Ms. Factors hard work is thoroughly admirable, wouldn't it be better if we had a society where it wouldn't be needed?
