Kemp2 Although 3,988,076 children are born in the United States per year, according to www.cdc.gov. 400,540 of them are in foster care. Foster case is a system where children are placed into. The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or child protection services. Yes, the children usually suffer from health compromising behaviors, attachment issues, and education problems. “children in foster care are also at significantly greater risk for major depressive disorder mania and posttraumatic stress disorder” according to researchers. Children in foster care suffer from impulse control and anxiety which is known as internalizing and also aggressive behavior, symptoms of anger which is known as externalizing. “Current care givers report of adolescent behavior problems were obtained using the CBCL; the measure includes 113 items”. They used externalizing and internalizing behavior problems subscales along with the total scale score, which it said “60-63 indicates borderline behavior problems and scores of 64 and higher indicates clinically significant behavior problems”. This shows that if a child is separated from their parents, they always wonder was it their fault so they decided to act in many different ways to express their hurt.

The “asct” which uses a doll family and five story stem to determine the child’s mishaps, pain, fear, and separation anxiety. Most children from infants to middle age children first instinct is always their mothers and them. A child’s behaviors are determined by their inner organizations of their experiences.

Research showed “while only 10% of the general school population is placed in special education, almost a third to half of foster population receives special education”. This is this way because teachers are less likely to know their students’ learning problems.

When foster kids change schools the school is required to receive their information from previous schools immediately. In the text it says “National research shows that children in foster care are at high-risk of dropping out of school and are unlikely to attend or graduate from college”. Although we hear all of the bad things about foster care, its providing stability for all of the children in need.
