New Partnership: Kidsdata.org Featured on the Chronicle of Social Change

Chronicle of Social Change homepage

We’re excited to partner with Fostering Media Connections (FMC), a media and advocacy group that focuses on the needs of children and youth in foster care.

FMC’s new online publication, The Chronicle of Social Change, has added a new biweekly feature highlighting data about California’s children from kidsdata.org. For example, a recent feature spotlighted California’s 27% decline in the rate of substantiated child abuse or neglect cases between 2002 and 2012.

The Chronicle of Social Change covers juvenile justice, child welfare and other fields related to youth and families.
