Every year around 23,000 kids in the foster care system are pushed out, many of whom with no permanent placements lined up, when they turn 18. An investigation by the Kansas City Star found that, of 6000 prisoners interviewed, 1 in 4 had come from the foster system #fostermonster

In 2016, 92,107 children were fire moved from their home due to parental drug abuse, a 7% growth over last year. 166,671 children were placed in foster care due to neglect; which often is exacerbated by parental drug abuse. https://t.co/yerZCwXBtw #fostermonster #fostercare

The foster system is heavily flawed. Less than 10% of the foster youth graduate from college. The average foster youth is much more likely to drop out of high school and college. #FosterCare #FosterMonster

The foster care system is failing and here’s why. 33% of homeless young adults were previously in foster care. These young adults aren’t properly cared for after they turn 18. #fostercare #fostermonster
