The book investigates the effectiveness of the Federal Law MEPA-IEP, designed to improve outcomes for children in the foster care system, particularly for minorities facing prolonged stays. Through a study conducted in Hamilton County, Ohio, it reveals that the law did not significantly reduce the length of stay for minority children awaiting permanent placements, highlighting ongoing challenges in the foster care system and prompting a critical examination of policy impacts on vulnerable populations.
