Here...mint tea for the tummy owies...
it is good that they are gaining co-consciousness. in time the pain will lessen.

"and the therapist.. keeps asking.. why we..the adults allow that..."

I hope this was asked of you all with kindness - i was asked the same with no kindness. it isn't like the adults in the system knew. the children (as you know and have stated) had to make the adult descisions... so why would that change? When adults that we see do not act as adults, how then can our own system adults act differently?

So much pain, free... let it wash through you all and away... let it be turned to healing.... let it be acknowledged and released like hot burning sand that can be let go and allow the cool waters to heal the wounds.
