(Answers may vary.)
In my state, every 75 minutes a child is abused or neglected. Thus, I am interested in laws and policies related to child abuse and neglect. Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 1974 is a federal legislation addressing child abuse and neglect. As per the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, the federal government funds states for prevention, investigation, treatment, and prosecution activities related to child abuse and neglect cases. Public agencies and nonprofit organizations receive grant through CAPTA for projects and other demonstrations program. This Act funds states for improving their child protective services, however, I feel the amount of funding received should be increased. CAPTA should fully fund states. Also, the CAPTA should be amended to provide to every child a legal counsellor in the court.
Moreover, the states should spread more awareness about the program. Nonprofit organizations should conduct demonstrations, discussion sessions, and presentations in various schools to inform children about the various child protective policies available.
