| About
the Children |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Children placed
in Therapeutic Foster Care can include either boys or girls, or any race,
between the ages of 5 and 18. They may have had relationship problems in
the community, in their families or in school. Many of the children are
victims of neglect, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. They are in need
of quality foster care in order to prevent placement in a residential or
psychiatric hospital. |
