Fatality Counts were frozen on 02/01/16. Does not include corrections or updates, if any, that may subsequently be made to DFPS data.

"Includes child fatalities investigated and confirmed by Child Protective Services (158), Adult Protective Services (0), Child Day Care Licensing (13), and Residential Child Care Licensing (0).

" *This is a subset of Child Abuse/Neglect Related Fatalities.

Note: Child fatalities in foster care may be the result of injuries inflicted prior to the child's entry into foster care and are not necessarily a reflection on the current caretaker.
