🚨NEW: This Master’s thesis argues that Canada’s child welfare system should stop keeping records of child abuse because they lead to higher rates of Indigenous children being placed in foster care and “into White-Canadian families.”

The author holds this view despite acknowledging that “neglect, exposure to intimate partner violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse” occur at higher rates in Indigenous communities; that over “71% of maltreatment investigations involving First Nations children” involve neglect or exposure to intimate partner violence; and that “approximately 10% of maltreatment investigations involve children who are…disabled.”

Yet because record-keeping leads to higher rates of Indigenous children being removed from their families and communities, it is labeled an “oppressive” form of “settler-colonial” violence that must be abolished.

The proposed alternative is to leave abused and neglected Indigenous children in these harmful environments while society focuses on “envisioning alternative means of protecting vulnerable children.”

The author, a “queer, Albanian immigrant, youth-from-care, and adoptee” makes her arguments “Through a desire-focused, queer Child and Youth Care (CYC), autoethnographic social fiction imagination” where she “queer[s] [her] own [family policing system] records to create a new record.” This apparently demonstrates “how records can (un)know, (un)do, and (un)become their authority, fixedness, and harm, and know, do, and become stories that imagine alternative, more dynamic, collective, and liberating ways of supporting the wellbeing of our communities.”

These people care more about maintaining their radical ideology than actually protecting abused kids. It's grotesque.
