Percentage of fatalities that occurred in foster care is based on total fatalities in States that reported on fatalities in foster care.
States that did not provide perpetrator relationship data are not included in this analysis.
This table compares the number of child fatalities associated with foster care to all child fatalities. The first column lists all of the States and the second column lists the total number of fatalities. The third column reports the number of child fatalities from foster care according to CPS and the fourth reports child fatalities from other agencies for a grand total of foster care deaths in the fifth column. The last column gives a percentage of fatalities that occurred in foster care as compared to the total number of fatalities. Among the 48 States reporting, the percentage of fatalities in foster care was calculated to be 1.5 percent.
