I have a cousin in foster care and he is 19 , they don't just "Let them go" anymore. They at least help them find good jobs , get an education upto a high school diploma , and , its not discontinued , its just that most 18 year olds want to get the heck out of where they are staying because they don't agree w/ the rules .
