Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
All 50 states enacted laws mandating that suspected child abuse be reported. This took place between 1963 and 1967. (Flaherty, Sege, & Hurley, 2008) Great strides have taken place in identifying and protecting children from neglect and abuse since then, but neglect and abuse still affects many children and their families. The rate of deaths resulting from abuse suggests that abuse is a fairly stable phenomenon, despite the changing nature of other statistics that are compiled on the subjects of abuse and neglect. Each year, approximately 1,500 children die because of maltreatment. (ibid) The clinician must view child abuse and neglect from both a legal and clinical perspective. This is because, in addition to clinical responsibilities, there are legal requirements such as mandated reporting. As a result, this course must identify both legal and clinical definitions of abuse and neglect.
