The authors compared child welfare services provided for Indigenous and Caucasian children in Canada. They found that child welfare reports involving Indigenous children were more likely to be classified as suspected or substantiated and Indigenous children were twice as likely to be placed in foster care compared to Caucasian children. The over-representation of Indigenous children in out-of-home placements and in higher rates of case susbstantiation were attributed to socioeconomic, child, parent, and maltreatment characteristics, reflecting multiple disadvantages experienced by Indigenous famililes.
