Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year
more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving
more than 6 million children. The United States has one of the worst records among
industrialized nations - losing on average between four and seven children every day
to child abuse and neglect. The WHO reports that over 40 million children, below the
age of 15, are subjected to child abuse each year. Domestic violence in the home increases
that risk threefold. Child Abuse Investigation Field Guide is intended to be a resource
for anyone working with cases involving abuse, neglect or sexual assault of children.
It is designed to be a quick reference and focuses on the best practices to use during
a child abuse investigation. The guide explains the Minimal Facts Interview, the Forensic
Interview, and the entire process from report to court. It is understood that every
state has different statutes regarding these topics; however the objectives of recognizing,
reporting, and investigating cases of this nature are the same. Just as every crime
scene is different, every case involving a child is different. Best practices and
standard procedures exist to help ensure cases are discovered, reported and investigated
properly, to ensure good documentation is obtained to achieve prosecution and conviction.
This field guide will be a useful tool for law enforcement, child protective services,
social service caseworkers, child advocates, and other personnel and agencies working
for the welfare of children
