In Arizona, there are approximately 10,000 children and youth ages 0 – 21 years in foster care. Why are kids placed in foster care? That answer is complicated, as it can be a combination of multiple factors. But here are the top four reasons: 1. Neglect 2. Physical abuse 3. Sexual abuse 4. Emotional abuse No matter the reasons, being removed from everything you know is a deeply traumatic experience.
