title = "Children and Young People Leaving Care",
abstract = "When parents are deemed to be unable to provide adequate care for their children, and there are no other capable carers within the family, children maybe removed from their family and enter the “care” of the state. The most common reasons in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US are parental incapacity that is the result of substance abuse, mental ill-health, family violence and children{\textquoteright}s exposure to abuse or neglect (see Gilligan, Chapter 9 in this volume). Most children leave care after a relatively short stay and return to their families of origin, but for some, out-of-home care is a long-term placement.",
