HRD-80-66 1 (1980-04-29)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabams0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Increased Federal Efforts Needed To Better Identify, Treat, And Prevent Child Abuse And Neglect Child abuse and neglect--a serious nationwide problem--needs more Federal Government at- tention. State and local governments visited have made progress in dealing with the prob- lem, but their capabilities to identify, treat, and prevent child abuse and neglect are inade- quate. Although public awareness of child abuse and neglect has increased and improvements in dealing with it have been made, much more needs to be done. Professionals need to be made more aware of their responsibility to report suspected cases. Investigations of cases need to be made promptly, and agencies' ca- pabilities to treat abused and neglected chil- dren need to be improved. The report also shows that until 1978 little emphasis was placed on prevention. GAO recommends that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect provide better leadership and assistance to State and local agencies. 112187 HRD-80-66 APRIL 29, 1980
