Caring for Foster Children
Keyword(s):
The poor quality of health services rendered to the half million foster children in this country is well documented elsewhere in this issue.1 This is an area of pediatric care of which we cannot be proud. Schor's "unfortunate discovery that children who have been under the protective and hopefully remedial care of the foster care system continues to demonstrate evidence of inadequate health supervision" must serve as a stimulus for changes. I strongly agree with Schor that the pediatric literatore has contributed to the problem by failing to describe adequately the special problems inherent in children in foster care—a population at high risk.
