“…Studies have found that Southeast Asians, such as Vietnamese and Cambodians, were more likely to be referred to CPS than Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino families (Finno-Velasquez et al, 2017;Ima & Hohm, 1991;Pelczarski & Kemp, 2006;Rhee et al, 2012). Godinet et al (2011) found that when compared with nonnative Hawaiians, native Hawaiians were more likely to reenter the CWS in Hawaii and less likely to be reunited with their families, even when the type of abuse was less serious than what other children in the study experienced. In their study of AA and NHPI CPS involvement in California, Finno-Velasquez et al (2017) found that the vast majority (81%) of the AANHPI children had foreign-born mothers, and by their fifth birthday, children of U.S.-born Hawaiian, Guamanian, or Samoan mothers had the highest rate (24%) of being reported to CPS.…”
