Most children in foster care are from poor families. About 70% of the children in foster care are put there by child protective services because the child has been abused or neglected Most of the remaining 30% are adolescents placed in care by the juvenile justice system. Very few children are placed voluntarily by their parents Over half of the children eventually return to their birth families. About 20% of children in foster care are eventually adopted, most often by their foster family. Other children return to a relative or become too old for foster care. A small number of children are later transferred to another foster care agency. Tragically, 18% of youth in foster care eventually age out of the system without a sense of belonging in any family
Abuso y violencia se define diferente en familias de culturas distintas, por ejemplo en general la cultura Afroamericana tiene una disciplina un poco mas autoritaria, que americanos blancos se confunde con violencia Generalmente es mas efectivo tener trabajadores sociales que vienen de todas las culturas que se atienden para que puedan ofrecer una perspectiva mas comprensiva Por lo menos tener capacitaci ón de los trabajadores de ¨competencia cultural¨que explica diferencias culturas en relación a prácticas cotiadianas. Por ejemplo, sus creencias sobre salud mental, familia, crianza de niños etc.
