1 2-2 Final Paper Milestone One: Identify an Issue (Introduction) Southern New Hampshire University HSE 325: Ethics & Laws in Child Welfare November 5, 2023
2 For my final project, I have decided to focus on child abuse and neglect. Child abuse and neglect happens frequently with “4 million child maltreatment referral reports received in 2021” (“National Child Maltreatment Statistics”, n.d.). Child abuse and neglect can be seen in different ways which include physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse. Child abuse and neglect can take a toll on children and create a cycle of abuse when they turn into adults and lead them down a negative path. “14% of all men in prison and 36% of women in prison in the USA were abused as children …” (“National Child Maltreatment Statistics, n.d.). Many children are forced to deal with this abuse as many do not speak up to teachers or other adults in fear of being hurt by their abuser. The state and federal Departments of Health and Human Services have many interventions to deal with abuse and neglect before, during, and after the abuse has happened. The Child Abuse Protection Act (CAPTA) was passed to bring attention to the need of protecting vulnerable children in the United States (“How the Child Welfare System Works”, 2020). Through CAPTA federal funding is provided to the state to provide support for prevention, assessment, investigation, and prosecution of abusers. There are also grants for public agencies and nonprofits to build programs and projects for prevention of abuse and neglect.
