While it is not the /norm/, it is quite common: almost 150K children are removed from their parents and put into foster care a year. Exigent circumstances happen quite a lot.
- Fellshard 5y agoWhat's that look like per capita? That's still an extraordinarily small minority.
- Ensorceled 5y agoThere are about 74 million children in the US and about 450K of them are in foster care and at least as many more have been moved to relatives by CPS (grandparents, aunts/uncles, older siblings etc.) So well over 1% maybe as high as 2% ... not an extraordinarily small minority.
