Today we release our report on Colorado #childwelfare and our Colorado Rate-of-Removal Index, which compares the rate at which Colorado's largest counties take away children. #familypreservation #fostercare #childabuse. Among the highlights: Colorado takes children at a rate 30% above the national average. Colorado uses the worst form of foster care, group homes and institutions, at a rate 33% above the national average, and Colorado uses the least harmful form of foster care, kinship foster care, at a rate 30% *below* the national average.
