Because you’re not taking away as many children, and throwing them into foster care, it’s causing children to die!” The studies show that the foster children typically fared worse on an enormous range of outcomes – including premature death. So it’s no wonder that, for example, a Swedish study comparing foster children to comparably maltreated children left in their own homes found that the foster children were four times more likely to die by age 20 – and the most common cause of death was suicide.
