Wards of the State starts with the story of Maryanne who had been arrested for murder by the time she was 16. In and out of foster and adoptive homes since age 10, she’d run away, been trafficked and assaulted, and finally pointed a gun at the latest man to take her into his car. She pulled the trigger and fled. But with no family to turn to and few reliable friends, it didn’t take long for the police to catch up with her.
The book goes on to acquaint us with five other foster kids, including an 18-year-old sleeping on the New York City subways; a gangbanger-turned graduate student; and a foster child who is now a policy advisor to the White House. Author Claudia Rowe paints a visceral survival narrative showing exactly where, when, and how the system channels children into locked cells. Balanced with accounts from psychologists, advocates, judges, and foster parents, Wards of the State paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on a broken system and the searing realities faced by kids who may be sitting in classrooms next to your own children.

There have been players before that dictated where they wanted, or didn't want to go, both of those more high profile players (John Elway, Eli Manning) had high profile fathers that were influential in their decision making. Why is Shedeur Sanders any different? Is it as simple as race--or is it something more? What role does the NIL play in all of this? We'll discuss.
