How Foster Care Fails Too Many Kids

On Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with journalist
and author Claudia Rowe about how foster care fails too many
children in America. Claudia’s book, WARDS OF THE STATE: The Long
Shadow of American Foster Care, uncovers the deep flaws in a system
that often leaves children more likely to enter prison than
college.

Claudia brings over 30 years of reporting experience, including
Pulitzer-nominated work and a major role in reforming school
discipline laws in Washington State. Her work has consistently
explored how foster care fails children by pushing them through
cycles of trauma, instability, and mistrust.In this compelling
conversation,

Claudia describes how frequent placement changes and lack of
emotional support disrupt childhood development. These repeated
traumas can lead to long-term behavioral and neurological effects,
making it harder for these children to thrive.
