#phdfoster. Kathrine or "Kitty" Howard as known by her friends has been in the foster care system ever since she was taken away from her family when she was 8 on accounts of her father and uncle sexually abusing her. Her lot in life has not gotten better her being sexually manipulated and abused by the older men in her past 5 foster homes she has been sent to. Kitty's social worker is at the end of the line on homes to place the promisqous teen in so she calls Jennifer and Laila to provide one.
