State lacks dedicated strategy for children in care

The article discusses the tragic M9 crash that killed five teenagers, including three members of the Traveller Community, highlighting the ongoing impact on their families. Tánaiste Simon Harris acknowledged the complex nature of the issue, noting its connection to social media, government, criminal justice, and road safety, but did not address the role of the care system or juvenile detention centers like Oberstown, which were part of some victims' lives. The piece also features Rosalind, a 22-year-old who spent much of her youth in the care system due to an unstable home life. She describes the lasting effects of trauma on her mental health and behavior, emphasizing that her struggles stemmed from past experiences rather than inherent difficulty. Rosalind is currently in a step-down aftercare unit in Cork, where she finds some stability and healing.
