TITLE 34—CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
§ 20302
(1) over 3,400,000 reports of suspected child
abuse and neglect are made each year;
(2) the investigation and prosecution of child
abuse cases is extremely complex, involving
numerous agencies and dozens of personnel;
(3) a key to a child victim healing from
abuse is access to supportive and healthy fam-
ilies and communities;
(4) traditionally, community agencies and
professionals have different roles in the pre-
vention, investigation, and intervention proc-
ess;
(5) in such cases, too often the system does
not pay sufficient attention to the needs and
welfare of the child victim, aggravating the
trauma that the child victim has already expe-
rienced;
(6) there is a national need to enhance co-
ordination among community agencies and
professionals involved in the intervention sys-
tem;
(7) multidisciplinary child abuse investiga-
tion and prosecution programs have been de-
veloped that increase the reporting of child
abuse cases, reduce the trauma to the child
victim, improve positive outcomes for the
child, and increase the successful prosecution
of child abuse offenders;
(8) such programs have proven effective, and
with targeted Federal assistance, have ex-
panded dramatically throughout the United
States; and
(9) State chapters of children’s advocacy
center networks are needed to—
(A) assist local communities in coordi-
nating their multidisciplinary child abuse
investigation, prosecution, and intervention
services; and
(B) provide oversight of, and training and
technical assistance in, the effective deliv-
ery of evidence-informed programming, and
operations of centers.
