What is ASFA/CAPTA part 2 of 4

By Marilyn Harrison
In part 1 we were quoting G.

Is that not typical? He then went on to admit that they were not even sure what services these children were receiving, if any, or if any efforts were being made to reunite them with their families.

The figure that we are offering you was from a publication many years ago, now that figure has risen to an astounding 870.,000 although the CPS counts 343,000 children in the foster care system. Have we lost close to a half million children then?
