“…86 The dearth of studies is evident in the leading journals focusing on the children protection system, such as this journal, Children and Youth Services Review, Child Maltreatment, Child Welfare, or the Journal of Public Child Welfare. 91 The study did not ask if they lived in a state which extended foster care to age twenty-one or had any other legal variable that might affect that outcome. But these studies generally do not use the law as an independent variable to study legal differences between states or the impact of a new law within one state.…”

“…For instance, one study surveyed more than 15,000 older foster youth from every state who are tracked by states in the National Youth in Transition Database and sought to identify variables that predict whether the youth become teen parents. 91 The study did not ask if they lived in a state which extended foster care to age twenty-one or had any other legal variable that might affect that outcome. 92 Another study identified some variables correlated with the size of racial disparities in the families subject to child protection investigations.…”

Child protection professionals work in a multidisciplinary system in which the law and the family court play central roles and which collects an increasing amount of data. Yet we know little about what impact the law has on whether a child is removed by child protective services, is deemed neglected by a family court, or reunifies with a parent. Do state‐to‐state variations in child protection laws, or changes by individual states to their laws, lead to different outcomes for children and families? The dramatic variations in child welfare practice from one state to another suggest that legal variations do matter. Yet empirical research on these questions is scarce both because we collect too little data to measure all such issues, and, because we have failed to study the data we do have. This article is a plea for researchers to rectify that problem and for policymakers to improve data collection. Doing so would facilitate a more clear understanding of the law's effect on child protection outcomes and aid policymakers and advocates in identifying both promising and problematic practices and legal reforms.

Youth ageing out of the child welfare system become parents at rates two to three times higher than their non‐child welfare system involved peers. Substantial literature acknowledges that youth ageing out who are parenting are vulnerable; yet, little is known about their lived experiences. Social capital, or the actual or potential resources available from one's network, can provide essential resources for the wellbeing of parents ageing out. This qualitative study examined social capital of mothers ageing out from the perspectives of both mothers and service providers. We conducted small group interviews with 13 mothers ageing out and 14 service providers. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed the use of a social capital framework delineates that mothers lacked beneficial social relationships and, consequently, support. A lack of trust coupled with a desire to break intergenerational patterns and norms contributed to understanding why mothers ageing out may not capitalize on resources that providers often considered available. Based on findings, we conclude that providing mothers ageing out with additional opportunities to develop trust, positive relationships with mentors and extended services may help to disrupt intergenerational patterns of maltreatment and promote child and family wellbeing.
