Language disorders, which are still very poorly detected, are often present in abused children. While the consequences are well known and long-lasting, little is known about the development and specific characteristics of these children, depending on where they were placed, the type of abuse they suffered and the age at which they were placed. This finding led to a review of the literature aimed at better defining the state of knowledge on the subject, for the benefit of better detection and treatment., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Introduction: As a part of the public health approach to child welfare, data about children placed in out-of-home care are needed to assess population trends, understand drivers of social and health inequities, and examine outcomes for children and families. We analyzed administrative data from Canada to describe the population of children in out-of-home care, and estimate and compare rates of out-of-home care by province/territory, year, sex/gender, age group and placement type., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of point-in-time data from all provinces and territories for the period 2013/2014 to 2021/2022. We used frequencies and percentages to describe the population of children (and youth up to age 21 years) in out-of-home care and estimated overall and stratified rates and rate ratios., Results: An estimated 61 104 children in Canada were in out-of-home care on 31 March 2022. The national rate of out-of-home care was 8.24 children per 1000 population. Rate variations by province/territory were substantial and changed over time. Rates were highest among males and children aged 1 to 3 and 16 to 17 years. Foster homes were the most common type of placement, although kinship homes accounted for an increasing share., Conclusion: This analysis demonstrated that administrative data can be used to generate national indicators about children involved in the child welfare system. These data can be used for tracking progress towards health and social equity for children and youth in Canada., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.

Research Framework: This article offers a review of international literature on the issues, conditions and barriers to children’s participation in child protection in order to identify issues that would be of interest for future studies. Objectives: It aims to identify interesting questions to explore in future studies and to understand the gaps between the requirements of the legal framework, the discourses of institutions and professionals, and the practices of professionals. It provides new ideas on the conditions for children’s participation. Methods: The paper is based on an analysis of some forty international works published over the past 20 years. The keywords mobilized in French and English databases are participation, children or young people, child protection, childcare, protection services, child welfare, home-based services, commitment, engagement and involvement. Results: The article highlights the need to rethink the often-stated opposition between the principle of protection and the principle of participation. It shows the importance of thinking about the goals of participation, the spaces in which children are invited to express their opinions and the forms that this expression can take. We show that participation must be seen as a dynamic process that is active or limited in the intervention itself. Conclusions: Qualitative, ethnographic and long-term research is needed to understand the processes of participation. Contribution: Based on a review of the literature, this article emphasizes some of the issues surrounding children’s participation in child protection services and identifies some areas for further research and exploration. It encourages readers to consider and study child participation in the perspective of its dynamic, relational and multidimensional nature. Analytical possibilities may emerge through a longitudinal and ecological approach to participation.

Résumé: Dans un précédent article, après avoir exposé une situation de maltraitance infantile en cabinet de pédiatrie libéral, nous avons fait un point sur les modalités de signalement et d'information préoccupante (IP) en cas de suspicion de maltraitance infantile. Cependant, malgré ces procédures facilitées et modifiées pour encourager les médecins à signaler au moindre doute, les médecins généralistes y ont rarement recours. Pourquoi sont-ils réticents au signalement et quelles peuvent être les conséquences pour eux lorsqu'ils sont face à ces situations difficiles ? In a previous article, after exposing a situation of child abuse in a private pediatric practice, we reviewed the procedures for reporting and worrying information (PI) in the event of suspected child abuse. However, despite these procedures being facilitated and modified to encourage physicians to report any doubt, general practitioners rarely resort to them. Why are they reluctant to report and what might be the consequences for them when faced with these difficult situations? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research framework : Benin, a country of origin little invested up to now in adoption, ratified in 2018 the CLH93 which leads to an evolution of its child protection system and of the local perception of adoption. Objectives : As part of this issue which questions the "origins" from different angles, this contribution explores the transformations caused by this convention in a social context with strong traditional roots. Methodology : The analyzes are based on the data collected in the host countries and in Benin, and are part of my doctoral course on a comparative study of intercountry adoption policies and practices in France and Germany. Results : It emerges that origin is a central notion in Beninese culture and that it is closely linked to the identity of the individual. Adoption is a little-known practice in this context where traditional practices of entrusting children are perpetuated. Intercountry adoption and the rupture it causes in the identity of the child impose a new conceptualization of origin, beyond the essentialist definition that prevails there. Proper implementation of CLH93 requires changes at several levels, and creates new institutional expectations that may prove too burdensome. Conclusions : Origin is at the heart of debate on adoption. Understanding the origin in this context comes down in particular to questioning the representations associated with it locally, and to taking into account the specific expectations of biological families, without penalizing adoptees. Contribution : This article is a contribution to a better knowledge of the countries of origin, little studied and often locked in a "de facto uniformity". It highlights the strength of traditional uses and the possible obstacles to an adequate implementation of the CLH93 in the Beninese context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although it is a major issue, the health of children and adolescents in care is still mainly explored on the basis of information provided by adults in French studies. This study therefore aims to make up for the lack of studies integrating the young people’s own point of view and to explore certain aspects of health, as reported by the children and adolescents themselves, by comparing the health of children in care with that of children in the general population. The sample consists of 477 children in care (versus 23,672 who are not). The data were collected through a cross-sectional survey conducted by UNICEF France between October 2020 and March 2022 among 25,300 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 who responded to a paper or online self-administered questionnaire. The main results of this study confirm the existing findings concerning the much greater health care needs of children and adolescents placed outside their homes (foster families, children’s homes) compared to their peers. In particular, they underline greater psychological suffering linked to their life histories, health risk practices, sexual violence, and suicidal risk. The discussion addresses the complexity of the issues associated with their health and underlines the importance of taking into account the child’s own point of view.

In a context of a child welfare emerging from the end of the 19th century and paradoxically the development of theses supported by forensics on the mythomania of children in cases of indecent assault, this article proposes to question the place given to the speech of the child victim of a sexual crime with his depositories, and then throughout the investigation process.To achieve this objective, this study is based on the systematic counting of 68 procedural files of cases of rape, indecent assault and incest committed on minors and judged by the Court of Assizes of Charente, courts of Angoulême, Cognac, Barbezieux and Confolens from 1889 to 1914 and the exploitation of the charges, police or gendarmerie minutes, interrogations of investigating judges, hearing witnesses and medicals expertises.

While in France the historiography on juvenile delinquency has had a significant development, thanks to the contribution of civil societies such as AHES-PJM, but also thanks to academic work (Henri Gaillac, 1970; Elise Yvorel, 2007; Ludvine Bantigny, Ivan Jablonka, 2009; Sophie Victorien, 2011; Jean-Jacques Yvorel, 2012), in the French Antilles this issue has not been adressed so far, except for Gaston-Jean, Bouvenet, 1936.Relying on Jean-Jacques Yvorel’s definition of juvenile delinquency as a result of social construct, we will examine a register that was kept by the president of the Court of first instance in Fort-de-France. It gives information on the social and economic stakes and the strategies put in place for the management of juvenile delinquency during two successive periods: the end of the inter-war period (1937-1939) and the time when Martinique was placed under the authority of the Admiral Robert, the representative of the Vichy regime (1940-1943). This paper gives an account of the complex interaction between ethnicity, gender, class and the necessity of maintaining order within a colonial context when the judge had to take a decision regarding a youngster’s offense. Knowing the significance of social control and order for the colonial authorities, a necessity that was exacerbated under the Vichy regime, we may question the choice the judge made: protecting society from the juvenile delinquents or protecting and re-educating them.

Cet article examine comment les transformations des idéaux de parentalité ont modifié les services d’aide à l’enfance en Hongrie au cours des dix dernières années. Plus particulièrement, il se penche sur l’influence du déterminisme parental et de la parentalité intensive sur les pratiques quotidiennes des travailleurs sociaux. Jusqu’à récemment, les services d’aide à l’enfance ciblaient principalement les familles pauvres et peu éduquées (le plus souvent d’origine rom) en évaluant la satisfaction des besoins matériels des enfants. À partir d’une recherche ethnographique, cette étude montre l’influence qu’exerce une nouvelle culture de la parentalité sur la façon dont les travailleurs sociaux évaluent les compétences parentales, sur les raisons justifiant les procédures de retrait d’enfants et, enfin, sur les relations que les travailleurs sociaux entretiennent avec les parents de milieux sociaux différents. Nous défendons l’hypothèse selon laquelle ces décisions sont fortement influencées par des idéaux de « bonne » enfance et d’enfance « optimale », des normes dominantes de parentalité, des conceptions sur ce qu’est un « bon » parent et des notions de mérite. Alors qu’auparavant la négligence était essentiellement évaluée d’un point de vue matériel, l’accent est mis désormais sur la présence d’un lien émotionnel fort dans la relation parent-enfant. Toutefois, comme cette recherche le démontre, il s’agit là de notions extrêmement subjectives et fluctuantes, qui servent le plus souvent à renforcer des convictions personnelles, ainsi que des valeurs dominantes sur la parentalité, le mérite et l’appartenance sociale.

Research Framework: The article questions the construction, protection and reinforcement of intimacy frontiers in Russian foster families according to the type of placement. Objectives: It aims at analysing these processes as resulting from communication between three functional systems: foster family, institutional actors and biological family. In the heart of this communication lies the meaning given to fostering by different actors as well as recent injunctions of the child welfare social policies promoting professionalization of family placement and a bigger responsabilisation of the biological family. Methodology: The analysis is based on the stories told by four foster mothers which were collected during the fieldwork conducted during the first year of the author’s PhD. Results: The article demonstrates that the tendencies to protect, reinforce and outline the intimacy frontiers vary in accordance with the type of placement which, in its turn, tend to depend on the foster parents’ socialisation milieu, their expectations about this activity as well as the profiles of available/desirable children. Conclusions: The studied cases give us an insight into the analysis of electivity of kinship ties and illustrate the concept of the relational family by de Singly as chosen and not statutory defined ties. Contribution: The article contributes to the childhood and kinship studies.

Research Framework : Socio-digital practices encourage in many ways various patterns of family ties, especially during events such as placement or changes in living areas (Pharabod, 2004). They stimulate a relationship distanced by the geographical remoteness by means of different digital devices. Therefore, we aim to explore the patterns of digital family correspondence under the light of placement cases and to observe the way the family links are built. Methodology : The survey and the in-field work have been built on two complementary lines : 1/ identify the means of digital family correspondence through semi-directive interviews with 18 children aged from 14 to 18 and 6 parents, 2/ understand the logic of regulation within the strict frame of the protective measure through interviews with 75 professionals : family assistant, ASE referents, educators, ASE managers and judges specialised in children protection. Objectives : Within the frame of placement (art. 375 of the French civil code), the child protection rules provide family links accommodations without considering socio-digital uses. The point is to observe how the family members are taking control of this under-ruled space to strengthen their relations or, on the opposite, to maintain a certain distance. From a socio-legal point of view, socio-digital uses will be put into perspective with the rights and duties of the family, from the child to his parents. Results : Our research highlights the ways of negotiation taking place within the emotional and moral dealings with « polymedia » (Madianou, 2014), building or moving spaces of autonomy and family roles. It also reveals different kinds of relationships in the siblings and in the family, with regards to the experiences of the family members during the placement measure. Conclusions : Without foreseeing the intensity of the established relationships socio-digital media contribute to maintaining family ties. The way of maintaining these distant relationships depend on shared experiences, placement experiments, and afferent stages. It is also the product of negotiated choices to maintain the links or, on the contrary, to loosen it. Contribution : This paper is based on the data collected during two research programs : exploratory research supported by the GIS M@arsouin (2014-2015) and the Pl@cement research supported by the Observatoire National de la Protection de l’Enfance and by the Mission de recherche Droit et Justice (2016- 2018).

The purpose of this study is to examine the institute of coercive measures of educational influence from the perspective of the possibility of combining the criminal-law regulation and correctional influence exercised within the framework of other branches of law. The methodological basis is a longitudinal study of persons released from criminal punishment using compulsory measures of educational influence, the article analyzes the peculiarities of juvenile delinquency of a special category. The study is based on a full sample of juveniles held in closed-type special educational institutions in the Siberian Federal District (300 sentences in total) and on a sample of 100 sentences against persons subjected to the measures provided for by criminal law. The result of the study is that the regulation of coercive measures of educational influence by criminal law alone is clearly not enough; the disciplinary process requires more soft norms that would reflect the age characteristics of juveniles. The novelty of the study lies in the reasonable conclusion that such norms are contained in the administrative, civil, and family branches of law, which are involved in the subsidiary regulation of legal relations arising as a result of the release of a minor with the use of coercive measures of educational influence.

The purpose of the research is to study the influence of the mediation service on the correction of SCTEI trainees, highlight their main differences with the psychological and pedagogical service, and conduct a comparative analysis of similar services abroad. Such fundamental methods of scientific knowledge as general methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy), as well as special methods (comparative legal and formal legal), provided the methodological basis for this research. The work used the published data from the Pathways to Desistance studies; in relation to 1,354 juvenile offenders. The data from a survey of 100 minors held in SCTEI of the Siberian Federal District were used. The research results concluded that the creation at SCTEI of mediation services engaged in constructive conflict resolution and ensuring effective achievement of mutual understanding between the parties to the conflict determine the humanity of education, the priority of human life and health, the rights and freedoms of an individual. It was also found by the authors that it had had a positive effect on the creation of a culture of safe and trusting communication between students, their parents and the teaching staff of the institution, on the prevention of violent, aggressive approaches in interpersonal interaction, the prevention of manifestations of antisocial behaviour, professional and emotional burnout of employees. In addition, it was found that with the functioning of the mediation service, students at SCTEI would also get an idea of how to become a part of society. The novelty of the research is due to the author’s approach to the problem under study as well as the fact that during the research it was found that it is mediation that makes it possible to create a dual system model of self-control for students at SCTEI.
