The Statistics
In the United States, a child is neglected or abused every forty-seven seconds. Neglect is the number one reason children are placed into foster care.
|
More than 60% of children in the Coastal Bend area are being placed outside of the area due to lack of foster homes, often being separated from siblings.
|
If a home is not available for a child that goes into care, they may be placed in a hotel or remain at the DFPS office under the care of various caseworkers.
|
"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you." James 1:27
