Given the way she acts, it wouldn't surprise me if she did something and they labelled her high risk, meaning she couldn't be fostered anymore, which means group homes. We have DCFS, Department of Children and Family Services. And they do try to locate any biological family. If they can't, the child can be put up for adoption and in the meantime, will be in foster care. Since Jo was just left, it's highly unlikely that they'd be able to track down her birth mom. So if she was fostered from 2 weeks to 16 years, that's a lot for a person to go through.

So you're saying that because she can lie, you won't believe that she's ever telling the truth? I'd sooner believe bad acting than lying. In the US, women have a 1 in 4 chance of being raped and an even greater chance of being the victim of a broader range of sexually-based assaults. I have been raped, I have been assaulted, I have been catcalled. And I'm only 23. I absolutely believe that something happened to her and I would be shocked if she's the only woman on the show for whom that is true.
