The goal of our program is to decrease the amount of child abuse and neglect in Madison County, IL. The purpose of our proposal is to obtain funding to expanding the Crisis Nursery to the Madison County, Illinois area. Our program hopes to provide a temporary safe haven for children ages 0-18 and aid in child development. With the expansion of the Crisis Nursery to the Madison county area parents or caregivers who are not able to travel to St. Louis will have accesses to all of the various programs the Crisis Nursery has to offer. Children will be able to get proper medical attention, as well as food, shelter and aid in child development. If accepted for funding the Madison County Crisis Nursery will be running by November 2017.

Child maltreatment is a preventable public health problem. Research has demonstrated that neighborhood structural factors (e.g. poverty, crime) can influence the proportion of a neighborhood’s children who are victims of maltreatment. A newer strategy is the identi- fication of potentially modifiable social processes at the neighborhood level that can also influence maltreatment. Toward this end, this study examines neighborhood-level data (maltreatment cases substantiated by Illinois’ child protection agency, 1995–2005, social processes measured by the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, U.S. Census data, proportions of neighborhoods on public assistance, and crime data) that were linked across clusters of contiguous, relatively

The rediscovery of child abuse can be largely contributed to the news media for highlighting the inhumane treatment of children by parents and guardians. Many children were being viciously punished by parents and guardians as a form of corrective training.

The disturbing circumstances reported by the media drew strong condemnation from people and organization around the nation. The highlighted problem by the media helped mobilize a very strong social movement to deal with the problems and issues relating to child abuse. The movement then quickly highlighted some very important aspect of child abuse such as sexual exploitation, incest, gross

Reporting child abuse is a serious matter. It is okay to report neglect or abuse because they may feel that the child is in danger. As long as they report it to the right authority they are not violating the law. HIPPA allows this type of disclosure without parental or guardian permission.

In some states they are required to report names of people with positive HIV test to public health authorities for infectious diseases surveillance. If I was ever in a situation where I had to report a serious a matter I would not go around telling everyone according to the HIPAA you must always report to the appropriate authority. I would not want to jeopardize my job by violating
