Footnotes from Data Source: Note that these totals reflect all entries to foster care due to neglect at the time of removal. There can be multiple circumstances/characteristics present at removal, and therefore other entries to foster care that are not due to neglect (i.e., strictly due to abuse) would not be included in this total. Race "Unable to determine" is when no race is provided or unknown is entered for race.  Missing data indicates that the count of individuals was small, and the data was suppressed to protect individual privacy using CDC guidelines for Healthy People 2020 (ref: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hpdata2020/HP2020-General-Data-Issues.pdf ; p 7-8).
