520 _a"A 1991 study by the National Association of Social Workers found that more than 20 percent of youths in homeless shelters came from foster or group homes. The federal government estimates that more than 5,000 kids leave foster care each year simply by running away....Solutions are elusive because these chronic runaways often fall into what FYSB calls 'a netherworld between prevention and juvenile detention': They usually cannot be locked up because they're not accused of crimes, they generally can't be committed to mental facilities because they haven't hurt anyone, but they're so rebellious and distrustful of adults that they repeatedly put themselves at risk by running off." (YOUTH TODAY) This article examines whether or not lock-ups are needed to prevent chronic runaways from fleeing foster facilities and group homes.
