Child forensic interviewing
16,000 cases of suspected child maltreatment were reported for one year in U.S. Armed Forces, worldwide.
What is child maltreatment?
Physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, exploitation, negligence, or maltreatment of a child by the child’s caretaker(s).
Circumstances indicate that the child’s health or welfare has been harmed or threatened.
Determination is based on regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
What you can do
The problem is often ignored out of fear, anxiety or disbelief. A caring community is necessary to help these troubled families.
If you suspect child maltreatment, contact your
Family Advocacy Representative (FAR)
. In an emergency, call your local police department.
In the National Capital Area, referrals are accepted from the child’s primary care manager. Health care professionals must report suspected maltreatment.
