Children in care being 'pinged' around schools and homes, says report

Sally Weale - The Guardian

"Thousands of 'pinball kids' are being shifted around the care system and between schools, putting them at risk of being excluded, groomed and recruited into gangs" in the UK, according to this article from the Guardian. The children’s commissioner for England has released the annual stability index tracking the experience of children in care, which indicates that "more than 3,000 children had to move home at least four times in the past two years and about 2,500 moved home five or more times in the space of three years."
