Changing Perspectives of Children in Foster Care.


For a variety of reasons people have made negative assumptions about children who are placed in Foster care.  It’s typical for people to assume that children are removed because the child’s behaviors are out of control.  This chart, based on data from the Children’s Bureau, clearly shows that the main causes for a child to be removed is because of the parents!   
(There are usually multiple reasons why a child is removed, therefore see the note listed.)
Note: These categories are not mutually exclusive, so percentages will total
more than100% and counts will be more than the total number of entries.
