Thriving on taxpayer money, for-profit facilities that care for adoptees face limited oversight. One mother who says her son was bullied and sexually assaulted wrote to the agency that funded his stay: “The almighty dollar will prevail once again.” apnews.com/article/adopted-c…

Such a powerful article. I am grateful to @AP for continuing to report and shine a light on this dark area of the troubled teen industry and who its impacting most 💔
Adopted children are promised ‘forever homes.’ An Associated Press investigation finds that many are quietly institutionalized in for-profit facilities instead. apnews.com/article/adopted-c…

@AP investigation: An AI-powered tool that helps social service agencies find the best adoptive parents for some of the nation’s most vulnerable kids has produced limited results in the states where it has been used. @_sallyho and @garanceburke . bit.ly/3QjhKp6

Our members in expensive cities like New York, Washington, Los Angeles & San Francisco get an economic differential.
We want @AP to add Seattle, Miami, Sacramento & Portland, Oregon.
Our members there cover the high cost of living -- but can barely afford to live there.

Honored to learn that @_sallyho and I won a Clarion Award for our work covering the use of artificial intelligence tools in the child welfare system, and their impacts on children and families. Read @AP's Tracked series here: apspecialprojects.com/tracke…

.@AP's @_sallyho details how AI may flag parents with disabilities for child protective services on @905wesa (at 8:50): apne.ws/9N1jVTi

Allegheny County, PA has served as “a real-world laboratory” for testing AI-driven child welfare tools. Now the US Justice Dept is investigating whether its use of an algorithm discriminates against people with disabilities, or other protected groups. apnews.com/article/child-pro…
NEW: Algorithms can help determine which families are investigated by child welfare agencies.
@garanceburke + I found some of these systems rank families based on everything from parents' disabilities to if the mother smoked before pregnancy.

Two Pittsburgh parents wonder if an artificial intelligence tool singled them out because of their disabilities. The Justice Department is asking the same question. By my colleagues @_sallyho and @garanceburke apnews.com/article/02469a9ad…
Fun fact: My side hustle is being AP's occasional voice over artist!
Correction: the AP analyzed variables and weights for several models, including the one in use in Allegheny and other states. Here's a video explainer: youtube.com/watch?v=s5W24jYx…
