Rest is fine
An article on June 8 about problems with New York City’s new policy of moving troubled teenagers out of group homes and into foster care misstated the reason that two teenage boys left the home of one foster mother, Mary Chancie, after six months and misstated the age of the older one during that time. The boys both left to live with relatives, as planned; neither “lasted only six months†because of behavioral problems. The older boy was 17 at the time, not 19. (He stayed with Ms. Chancie again for four months when he was 19; that departure was prompted by behavioral problems, Ms. Chancie said. Since the article was published, he has returned to her home.)
The caption for a picture in some editions showing Ms. Chancie standing next to two framed photographs also referred incorrectly to the younger boy, 13; he did not leave Ms. Chancie’s home because she found him “to be too much.†And the young men in the photographs are not her foster sons, but two sons she adopted.
