With more than 350,000 children in foster care in the United States, this paper explores why some children are removed from their biological parents while others, with similar problems, receive services in the home. A discriminant analysis of children who were placed in foster care and those who were provided supportive services at home suggests that, for children in all age groups, parents' income level is the best predictor of a child's removal from the home.
美国有超过35万名儿童处于寄养状态，本文探讨了为何有些儿童会被从亲生父母身边带走，而其他有类似问题的儿童却能在家中接受服务。对被安置在寄养机构的儿童和在家中获得支持性服务的儿童进行的判别分析表明，对于所有年龄段的儿童来说，父母的收入水平是预测儿童是否会被带离家庭的最佳指标。
