Don a lot of foster parents abuse the foster children?
Well, sadly, a lot of people abuse children, and some of those people are foster parents. But according to the US Department of Health and Services, out of the 826,000 children in the US who are abused in some way each year, only 1.5% are abused by a “substitute care provider”… which would include relatives raising children, group home workers, residential care facility workers, and, yes, foster parents.
