The U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General reports that many states fail to track child abuse in foster care facilities, leaving over 50,000 children vulnerable.
The U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has found that many states are failing to track cases of abuse, sexual assault, and improper restraint of children in foster care facilities, leaving over 50,000 children vulnerable to mistreatment. States do not consistently share information about abuse, even when it occurs in facilities operated by companies with a national presence. The report suggests that HHS should help states track abuses at facilities and create a platform for states to share information about problems they face.
