maybe if CPS quit taking away children for false accusations this statistic would go down...

There are 542,000 children and youth are in foster care on any given day in the United States. Only 48% of those are living with licensed foster care parents; and 25% of children in foster care never return home.
When children are pulled out of the home and placed into foster care, they often go weeks without being enrolled in a new school. Once enrolled, they may have already missed critical curriculum.
At age eighteen, 66% leave foster care without a high school diploma, 61% have no job experience, 35% end up on welfare, and 25% end up on the streets.
Enrichment programs such as sports and arts activities and summer camp experiences that contribute to a child’s confidence and interactive skills reach only a small percentage of children in foster care.
Students in foster care repeat a grade twice as often as other students.
Foster children, on average, score 15-20 percentile below other children on statewide achievement tests.
