NY: Foster Parents Are The Best Therapy For Traumatized Children In The System (Opinion) (Includes audio)
WXXI – April 06, 2016
In 2014–the most recent year for which data is available–a total 650,000 kids spent at least part of the year in foster care. And in most places, there are not enough qualified foster parents to take them all in. About 21 percent of kids in the system are not in long term family placements.
