En France, environ 273 000 mineurs sont pris en charge par les services de protection de l'enfance des conseils généraux et, parmi eux, environ 134 000 sont placés hors de leur milieu familial, en famille d'accueil ou en établissement, à la suite de décisions administratives ou judiciaires. Ces chiffres sont en augmentation depuis plusieurs années et le nombre de mineurs placés en France est, en proportion, supérieur à celui de nombreux autres pays européens.
