Franklin County Children's Services Foster Care
In 2015, 50% of children taken into protective custody in Ohio had parents that were identified as illegal drug users. 70% of children under 1 had parents that had used opiates, including heroin. This epidemic has caused an increased need for foster care families.
Mark Nuce welcomes Deborah Armstrong, Communications Director at Franklin County Children's Services. May is National Foster Care Month. Currently, there are more than 300 youth in Franklin County who are in need of loving foster homes.
