A Kids at Risk Action project
The systems are measured. The children are seen.
One address, read by people. Write to info@invisiblechildren.org. What follows is what to put in it, sorted by what you want, not by which desk it lands on.
This is the one we most want to hear. Every figure on this site names the federal table it came from, and if you open that table and find a different number, that is a correction we owe you and every other reader. Say which page, which figure, and what the source shows.
Corrections are published with their date and their table in the corrections log, not quietly patched.
Caseworkers, CASA volunteer guardians ad litem, court staff, foster and adoptive parents, and former foster youth see the parts of this record the federal tables do not measure. If a number here is technically accurate and still tells the wrong story about what you see, that is worth writing down.
Do not send case files, identifying details about a child, or anything you are under a duty to keep confidential. Tell us what the pattern is; we will find the public record.
Every chart on the site downloads as a citation pack: the figure as SVG and PNG, the full citation text, and the CC-BY license, in one zip. Take it. If you need a cut of the data that is not on a page yet, ask.
The archive is two decades of KARA reporting, republished as written. Charts and citation packs are CC-BY 4.0 and federal source data is public domain. Archive articles are not: ask first, and say where it is going.
There is no tracking on this site, no analytics, and no cookies, and email you send is not added to a list. If you want the daily brief you have to ask for it, and you can stop at any time. We do not sell, share, or trade an address.
If you are in danger right now, this is not the place. Call 911. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is 1-800-422-4453, staffed at all hours. Every page on this site carries a quick exit button in the top right that leaves immediately and clears this page from the back button.
Kids at Risk Action is a 501(c)(3) public charity and the data work is unfunded. There is no donate button in the masthead because the masthead's job is the record. There is a page for it instead. Ways to give.
