| Title |
Overrepresentation and Disparity of Black Children Reported Under the Child Protection System : The Need for Effective Cross-System Collaborations
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the overrepresentation of Black children reported to child protection services . She examines rates of service disparities using clinical-administrative data provided by a child protection agency for a sample of Black, White, and other visible minority children residing in Montreal. Her findings reveal that compared to White children, Anglophone Black children’s protection reports were five times more likely to be screened in, substantiated, and brought to court. Anglophone Black children were also five times more likely than White children to enter out-of-home placement. Her findings demonstrate disparity in exits from the child protection system throug comparison of Black, White and other visible minority children on time spent in out of home placement and likelihood of family reunification. Of these three groups, Black children spent the longest time in out-of-home placement and had a lower proportion of children experiencing family reunification. This decreased likelihood of reunification was statistically associated with three variables: placement instability, age of the child and type of maltreatment.
