Where Are Kansas’s Missing Foster Children?

Child protective services in Kansas has admitted that over 70 of the foster children who are entrusted in their care are currently missing, their whereabouts unaccounted for after they left their foster placements. One foster care contractor, KVC Kansas, is missing 38 children, and another, Saint Francis Community Services, is missing another 36. Some of these kids return to their biological families, but others will meet more terrible fates, often becoming the victims of human traffickers. We, Robert and Kathleen Raskin of Las Vegas, find this unacceptable, so please join us in our quest to have these organizations held accountable.

 

What Is Being Done?

One official with KVC Kansas claims that the number of children missing is only one percent, which is comparable to the national average, but this, too, is unacceptable. Children in the foster care system are more than twice as likely to run away as other kids, and these are often children who were wrenched away from their families through no fault of their own. They deserve more than this, especially when you consider the fact that top officials were not even aware these kids were missing. With no system of checks and balances in place and not nearly enough protections provided for these children’s rights, it is far too easy for kids to fall through the cracks. In the meantime, these organizations are working closely with the families of the missing children, foster care contractors, law enforcement agencies, and schools to try to locate these children before any harm comes to them.
