Youth aging out of foster care are one of the most disadvantaged populations in the United States. Unlike other young people in the general population who continue to live with family and receive support and financial assistance, foster youth transitioning into adulthood often struggle just to obtain and maintain general needs. Apart from the trauma associated with the history of abuse or neglect, foster youth are put in a circumstance that expect them to become independent and self-sufficient immediately as they prepare to transition out of foster care. According to Courtney, Dworsky, Lee, and Raap, young people formerly in foster care, compared to the general population, experience significantly different outcomes in areas of education, employment,

At 4:30 PM on October 9, 2015 I sat down with Jenniffer Marie to talk to her about her occupation. Jennifer works as a case manager for Justice Resource Institue's Intensive Foster Care Program or JRI for short. This agency is located at 132 S. Main Street in Berkley, Massachusetts. You can reach JRI by phone at (508) 821-7774. JRI serves Southeastern Massachusetts. The agency provides therapeutic foster homes for children who are involved with the department of child and family services. Services are offered to youth ages 0-22, who are unable to remain safe in an unstructured foster home. The children in the program have significant trauma in the form of; neglect, sexual abuse, physical and/or emotional abuse.

For years there have been an excessive number of children in and out of the foster system. Quite a few children have succeeded; however, other children have not. A few children have looked to drugs, alcohol and violence to cope with what they have gone through and/or what they are currently going through. A number of those children ended up in a juvenile detention center or prison for breaking the law. Foster parents are desperately needed to help these children succeed in life and make it through this terrible time.

Imagine one day that all of a sudden when you and your siblings arrive home from school, and your parents are nowhere to be found. Your neighbor informs you that ICE officials raided your house and deported your parents. According to CNN News, that’s exactly what happened to the Soza siblings, Ronaldo, 14 and Cesia, 17. They are a prime example of what the effects of deportation can have on children. According to an ACR report there is an estimated 5,100 children who are currently in the foster care system. The foster care system would put the child in danger of never seeing their parents again. According to ICE there is an average, 17 children who are placed in the foster care system, due to the detainment and deportation of their parents

The foster contacted WYP Ngo to cancel the one on one with the youth today, because the youth was placed in custody for robbery. The foster will keep WYP Ngo updated when the youth has court for his violation. WYP Ngo contacted the WCC (Wraparound Care Coordinator) as requested from the foster father. WYP Ngo updated the WCC about the situation.

Most of the time when children get put into the foster care system their attitudes change and it may seem like they become a whole different person. Through extensive research proof has been found that this occurs and has found ways to help a child transition back into how they were before foster care, but for those that were born into foster care they may find it normal and not revolt because it is all they have ever known. Many kids will end up dropping out of high school after turning sixteen. Some will not drop out but “for those who choose to stay enrolled, the path is not a traditional one, some foster children complete high school after five years or choose [an] alternative like a GED transcription or diploma.” (Ideastream, 2017).
