International expert discusses child welfare

International expert discusses child welfare:

CARBONDALE – With a large crowd in attendance, Brigham Young University Professor Jini Roby offered a grim picture of the U.S.’s child welfare system during a Wednesday lecture at Carbondale Civic Center.

...................children raised in institutional care fell far behind on physical, cognitive and social development. Those who were sent to foster care quickly caught up to their peers, but then plateaued in their development after a period of time.                                                             Children who were never separated by their parents performed the best in every dimension, according to Roby.
