Kim: We Are All Redeemable

“We are all redeemable” expresses Kim Murphy. Kim was the former staff attorney for the SMU W.W. Caruth, Jr. Child Advocacy Clinic. Kim talks about how she became involved in child welfare and what led her to help the youth who age out of foster care. Kim then explains the difference between an attorney who is representing CPS, the child’s parents, and the child. And how she toggles between knowing what is in the best interest of her client, the child, when other parties are stating that something else is. Kim ends by stating, in her opinion, what the best interest is for youths who are aging out of foster care and the challenges that come with being a youth who aged out of foster care. But how every one of these kids can overcome these challenges, because we are all redeemable.
