Abstract
Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of children are reported to be victims of child abuse and neglect each year. An untold number of other children are maltreated but not reported to responding agencies. As outlined in this review, a number of practitioners and professionals assume different roles and responsibilities in identifying and responding to reported cases of child abuse and neglect. Child maltreatment, however, is so widespread and, thus, such a significant issue that every citizen and organization shares in the responsibility for responding to this problem.
Interventions are designed to strengthen families as an integral part of ensuring child safety, permanency, and well-being. This includes promoting responsible parenting, fostering families’ support networks, and providing comprehensive services customized to meet the circumstances, strengths, and needs of each family.
