Sinopsis

In Australia, children in state care leave care when they turn eighteen. Legally they are adults, but are we expecting too much of them and setting them up for a life of failure and disadvantage? On Open House, Paul McDonald of Anglicare Victoria and chair of The Home Stretch explained that within a year, half of care leavers will be homeless, in trouble with the law or a new parent.
