CENTER score: -0.20 confidence: 85% vv3

The source is APTN (aboriginal Peoples Television Network), a media outlet serving Indigenous communities, which often frames child protection issues through a human-rights and cultural lens. The use of words like 'scathing' and the direct quote 'Where is the accountability?' emphasizes the severity and failure of the system, reflecting a critical stance toward the government's handling of the issue rather than a neutral disconnect.
