Study finds foster care system puts children at risk in Oklahoma

Study finds foster care system puts children at risk in Oklahoma

Thousands of kids are in foster care in the state, and they're all at risk of harm, at least, that's the argument behind a federal lawsuit.

The group behind it, Children's Rights, says a recent study backs that up.

It called upon the Center for the Support of Families, a company that collects state and government data, to conduct a study.

It investigated close to 400 randomly selected children in the system, and CSF found one in eight were abused or neglected.
