More than two million child abuse reports are filed annually on
behalf of children in the United States. Each of the reported
children becomes a concern, at least temporarily, of the
professional who files the report, and each family is assessed by
additional professionals. A substantial number of children in these
families will subsequently enter foster care. Until now, the
relationships between the performance of our child welfare system
and the growth and outcomes of foster care have not been
understood. In an effort to clarify them, Barth and his colleagues
have synthesized the results of their longitudinal study in
California of the paths taken by children after the initial abuse
report: foster care, a return to their homes, or placement for
adoption. Because of the outcomes of child welfare services in
California have national significance, this is far more than a
regional study. It provides a comprehensive picture of children's
experiences in the child welfare system and a gauge of the
effectiveness of that system. The policy implications of the
California study have bearing on major federal and state
initiatives to prevent child abuse and reduce unnecessary foster
and group home care.
