PA: Philadelphia is #1 again – and it’s nothing to be proud of (Commentary)
NCCPR Child Welfare Blog – January 23, 2019
For several years, two of America’s top ten big cities have been extreme outliers when it came to tearing children from their families. When entries into care were compared to the number of children living in poverty Phoenix had the worst rate of removal among big cities; Philadelphia was second. Well, now that’s changed. Now children are more likely to be consigned to the chaos of foster care if they live in Philadelphia than any other big city in America. (Phoenix remains a very close second.)
