Stop whining about the foster care system and do something to fix it

Seventy percent of the men and women in America’s prisons and jails were in foster care. Regardless of what some Kansas media tell you, and what lawyers claim in pending lawsuits, Kansas’ foster care woes aren’t unique. They are endemic in the foster care system nationwide. Indeed, by almost all measurements, the Kansas foster case system is average. Average case lengths, average case outcomes, and, sadly, average success rates for kids who grow up and end up in prison. Can we agree that average sucks? Because of this reality, no matter who is in charge of Kansas DCF, it will take years not months to fix the system, if fixing it is even possible.
