Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Child protective services originated in the 1800s and have since gained legislative authority to remove children from their homes. The first child welfare system was institutionalized to model Anglo-Saxon, Christian ideals. Canada’s child welfare policies are deeply rooted in colonialism with a tragic, genocidal history of residential schools and the “Sixties Scoop” that continues to have intergenerational effects on Indigenous families today. Currently, child welfare has an overrepresentation of Indigenous children. Furthermore, child welfare in Ontario, a province with one of the largest racialized minority populations in Canada, has various racial disproportionalities with an overrepresentation of Black and, more recently, Latin American children. The child welfare system also has a disproportionate number of newcomers within its system. The data on disproportionalities within child protective services demonstrates that current child welfare systems are failing to meet the needs of the most marginalized populations in our society, including Indigenous and racialized minority people.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
