SaySo · for youth & allies
BetaKnow your rights. Make them count.
For youth in foster care and the people who support them — SaySo helps you make sense of what happened, understand your rights under Texas law, and turn it into action — a complaint, a timeline, a record that holds people accountable. It's free, it's yours, and it stays on your device.
SaySo is in beta. It's still being tested — some things may not work perfectly yet, and features may change. Please don't rely on it as your only tool for something urgent.

Made with youth
Built by The Fostered, with lived experience at the center.
Please read before you start. SaySo is a self-advocacy tool, not a lawyer, therapist, or emergency service. It can't give you legal advice or represent you. Nothing here creates an attorney–client relationship.
The category and location of your concern may be shared — without your name, your story, or anything that identifies you — so we can see patterns across Texas and push for system change. Your written words stay on this device.
SaySo is not a substitute for reporting abuse. If a child is in danger, call the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400.
