Stats reveal problem for Blacks in Miami’s child welfare system

Stats reveal problem for Blacks in Miami’s child welfare system

Black children are disproportionately represented in every level of the child welfare system, both in Florida and in the U.S. But recent statistics reveal an even worse situation for kids in Miami-Dade County. While Black children compromise 23 percent of the child population in Miami, they represent 60 percent of those youth in foster care. Statewide, they make up 33 percent of the foster care population.
