There's a decent chance he's just a good ass guy.

"Yay!” he said, cheerfully. “You are 6! 6! 6!”

Nothing suspicious at all...

Asking questions is not sick. If I were one of these sick fucks, adopting kids who cannot see, hear or speak, and I know will die on their own, would be a prime setup. So I will repeat what I have said before, asking questions is literally how to be a journalist. We are the journalists now.

The only thing that seemed strange to me was the fact that this couple divorced when the wife needed the most help. She hardly left the house. So who got the house? She was so sick that she died a year later. How come he could care for these very sick kids, but not his own wife. That's very strange. Where did she go when they divorced?

Thank you for defining hospice to me when I already know what hospice means. Hospice can be used as a means to kill people who aren't terminal. And their methods aren't exactly always legit even for people who will die soon. Yes it can be a helpful practice if it's truly palliative care. But sometimes it's not that.

I think this story is 100% on the level, and this guy really is doing great work. However I am suspicious of the media and the timing. This guy has been doing this for years, but the story runs now.

One thing that popped out to me is the fact the child he is presently caring for has a rare form of the malformation yet he was also the foster parent for three other children with this same condition, now what are the odds of that? Did all the parents voluntarily give up custody of these children or were their children removed from them? The article also states that he spends some of his days fighting with insurance companies when it's a known fact that Medicaid covers the full cost of foster children. There are several children's hospitals in the US that appear to be removing a number of children with medical complexities who just so happen to also be doing research through grants for those same conditions. Just sayin'

He must know how to care for them. Probably no one else wants to :( He sounds like a good man. We could use more people like that in this world.

hospice is used to quickly kill patients all the time and some are not terminal - is he running a hospice? the page froze for me

My top thought: How messed up is that for his own son to have to watch all these foster brothers and sisters come in and die in his house like that? Especially since he has brittle bone disease and perhaps wouldn't want all those reminders of his own mortality?

Looks to me like a fluff piece written to show how wonderful Muslims are. Notable especially because of the location, but also because it gives a look at how child services works over there. A guy takes in kids no one else wants and everyone is grateful. No questions. Maybe nothing behind it, but still good to make note of.

Can't read further down as an ad for LA Times keeps blocking my screen and won't go away unless I go off!! Grrrr. not sure if this is just because I am in the UK?

Lots of papers use paywalls now even for Americans. Sometimes it works to refresh the page and hit the X to stop loading before the popup

Some people actually give a shit about children. Your making connections where there are none.

The foster care system is definately ripe for abuse, but unfortunately there are a lot of terminally ill children in the system who must be cared for. Typically children like this have in home nurses (according to the article this girl does too), and frequent medical intervention. These types of children tend to have more outside eyes on them than regular foster kids, and that extra oversight is good to help ensure they are being cared for and not abused. It's good to be aware of potential areas for pedos to have access to kids, but this story seems legit. He seems like one of the good ones.

'I know they are going to die.' This foster father takes in only terminally ill children - LA Times

'She took them to professional holiday photo sessions, and she organized Christmas gift donation drives for foster children. '

'Now, Bzeek spends long days and sleepless nights caring for a bedridden 6-year-old foster girl with a rare brain defect. '

'But Bzeek is the only foster parent in the county known to take in terminally ill children, Yousef said. '

'But in his more than two decades as a foster father, he took them in anyway — the sickest of the sick in Los Angeles County’s sprawling foster care system. '

'Dawn Bzeek was such a highly regarded foster mother that her name appeared on statewide task forces for improving foster care alongside doctors and policymakers. '

This has been an automated message.

From reading the article, the guy appears to take in terminally ill children giving them a home to live out their final days in as much comfort as possible.

Unless proven otherwise, why post this article on this sub?

Because DCFS in LA county is implicated in the largest bust in US history, 474 arrested.

Theupsidedown

When exactly were they implicated? Just because they are located in LA?

ThePuppetShow

+1 Not everyone is a creep, look at this forum full of great people fighting for children.

noKnowthing3313214

Agreed. Islamaphobia at best.

PolybiusPizza

You're saying that a single mn who takes in terminally ill children isn't worth extra scrutiny?! In a district with one of the largest pedo bustsin history? Keep hiding pedophilia behind your twisted and protected religion. That way you ensure the downfall of both of them. Never stop what you're doing. Thank you.

Don-Keyhote

Lol minority status as deflective shield. He'd have posted it regardless. There's close to zero talk on Muslims here. You make me fear for the future of the U.S.

noKnowthing3313214

Why because they posted an article about a Muslim man who takes in Dying orphans and we should connect it to the investigation without any evidence? It a diversionary tactic.

Bless you.

Don-Keyhote

Govt childcare dude. Whats it like being so obtuse? Do the other children mock you?

LA_Trump

Fuck you.
