Some of the young people in Hamilton County’s youth detention have never committed a crime, they simply have no place to go.
Ohio is one of several state where foster kids can end up in the same restrictive conditions as youth who are accused of crimes, because no placements are available for them.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the crisis in the foster care system that can lead to detention for innocent young people.
Guests:
- Judge Kari Bloom, Hamilton County Juvenile Court
- Sarah Reis, director, Hamilton County Job and Family Services Placement Department
