Children in Foster Care Maltreated by Foster Care Providers, 2000-2004
This table displays the percentage of children in foster care who were maltreated by a foster parent or residential facility staff. The first column lists each State and the next five columns lists the percentage of victims by year. The Children’s Bureau has established a national standard of incidence of child abuse or neglect in foster care as 0.57% or less. The number of reporting States in compliance of this standard has increased from 16 States in 2000 to 32 States in 2004.
