Episode 107: In “Prediction as Prevention” we ask the question: Can big data help us determine which children are most at risk of foster care placement? And how do we direct resources to those children to ensure they’re safe? We examine the way in which predictive modeling sheds light on the impact of implicit bias in our nation’s child welfare system. About 50% of African-American and black families in this country will experience a child welfare investigation. That’s far, far more than the data indicates we should expect to see. That’s a problem. But can an algorithm be the answer? Emily Putnam-Hornstein, an associate professor at the University of Southern California School of Social Work and the director of Children’s Data Network, joined One in Ten to talk about what role big data should have in making potentially life-and-death decisions about children’s safety.Topics in this episode:· What is predictive analytics and how it is used in child welfare? (1:56)· The big question to answered by big data. (3:52)· The over-representation of black families in child welfare investigations. (5:31)· Who gets reported? (6:58)· Why haven’t we solved this problem yet? (10:01)· Can individuals accurately assess risk? (12:24)· How can predictive analytics address implicit bias? (15:24)· How does it work in practice?

Though they are hiding in the shadows, an alarming number of children are growing up in homes where they are abused and neglected by parents who put their own needs first-whether by addiction, abandonment, sex or narcissism. But, today's guests are proof that there is hope. Scott Glabb, author of A Saint in the City: Coaching At-Risk Kids to be Champions, used to be one of those kids. But, he pulled his life together to become a winning wrestling coach at an inner city school-and a savior for many kids whose life was heading in the wrong direction. Anthony Reveles is 19 years old, and is one of Coach Glabb's success stories. Anthony courageously shares what it was like growing up: abandoned by his biological dad, abused by his mom, stepdad and siblings, surrounded by drug and alcohol abuse, and finally homeless. He was headed for trouble until he joined Coach Glabb's wrestling team, took the coach's wisdom to heart, and now has a bright future ahead of him.
