Foster Child Fatality Data

The following documents present data collected by the Children's Advocacy Institute (CAI) pursuant to AB 1151 (Dymally) (Chapter 847, Statutes of 2003), which authorized the release, after the death of a foster child who is a minor, of the child's name, date of birth, and date of death.

Some counties interpret the term “foster child” to include only those children who are dependents of the court that are placed in out-of-home care. CAI will continue its efforts to track the deaths of all dependents of the court, regardless of their placement.

These documents are all works in progress; we will continually update them as we receive additional data.
