Foster Kids in Psych Wards

There are children who wait in the psychiatric hospital wards wandering the hallways for release. They think someone is going to appear who will open the door to the outside world. They hope that some person with authority will turn the key to set them free. They are in the psych units of state hospitals because there are no foster homes to put them in. So the children are put in hospitals on a short-term basis, with the result being that many are forgotten to remain there for a long, long time.

Who are the advocates for these children?
