Some private orphanages still exist in the United States apart from governmental child protective services processes. [147] [148] Following World War II, most orphanages in the U.S. began closing or converting to boarding schools or different kinds of group homes. Also, the term "children's home" became more common for those still existing.
The nature of orphanages means that they often fail to provide the individual sustained attention and stimulation a child would get from growing up within a family. In many cases the children living in them are at risk of harm. [37] There are also many reports of orphanages being abusive [33] [38] or having very high death rates. [39]
