Could u please reference the study?
As soon as I come across it I will. This is the first and only thing I've seen.
My guess is there was an imbalance regarding ages of children in the two camps. The relatives probably had older children because fosters won't take them versus the fosters who had children not old enough to get into this kind of trouble.
