Each week, nationwide, 27 children die at the hands of their parents.

Nationwide, every 10 seconds, another allegation of child abuse is made.

In Los Angeles County alone, there are 28,000 children under the watchful eye of the Department of Children and Family Services.

Over 24,000 children are living not with their parents but in "out-of home care." About have of those kids are living with relatives, and the other half are in group homes or foster care. (LA Times, June 3, 2005)

Los Angeles County accounts for 1/3 of the entire state of California’s foster child population.
