Dear Colleagues,
Child abuse is a significant health problem. According to statistics from the Children's Bureau in the Administration on Children, Youth and Families, during 2008, CPS Agencies received an estimated 3.3 million referrals, involving the alleged maltreatment of approximately 6.0 million children.
Additional statistics at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm08/cm08.pdf. Today's newsletter focuses on issues related to child abuse.
