Every day I'm happy I got out of that state

Unfortunately it’s a lot to ask of a pre-pubescent child for them to convince their family to uproot everything and leave the state. That being said, the Idaho legislature is doing its best to make the decision for said families.

I wasn't saying it was a solution for everyone just that I'm glad I left, and I was only able to when I was like 19-20 with a lot of assistance. I have niblings there and it is unlikely their parents would move out of state for them (my brother loves how much Idaho empowers him to be a giant piece of trash). Best I know how to provide is letting them know I'll be here to help them get out of state when they're older if they want to. Doesn't really help while they're younger though
