Statistics bleak for children in foster care
The statistics documenting outcomes of children in foster care are bleak.
Only 58 percent had a high school degree at age 19, compared to 87 percent of youth not in foster care.
About one in five were homeless for one or more nights within a year after leaving foster care.
One in four will be incarcerated within the first two years after they leave the system.
Note: This is a sales pitch for CASA. As if they really make a difference.
Yes, and in the eyes of the UK Social Services, it is acceptable, for a Child, to get through 30 different Foster Carers.
