“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation


Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into the foster care system. An initiation by other students in terms of seeing how tough or weak you are. Another way is by a temporary placement until a hearing is held. When you enter into the foster system, all children are assigned a judge, attourney, and a social worker. As a result of this initiation, you are officialy a foster youth.
