UNH s new report on child maltreatment shows mixed trends
A new report from the University of New Hampshire s Crimes against Children Research Center (CCRC), using data collected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, showed a marked increase in the share of child maltreatment cases resulting in fatalities as well as a decline in cases of physical abuse and neglect in 2019.
The report, which highlights 2019 statistics from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), showed that fatalities rose 4%. The statistics gathered from child protection agencies in each state indicated that the uptick in child maltreatment fatalities was broadly distributed, with 25 states reporting an increase of 10% or more.

The bill includes collecting data and information about animal abuse, because it’s a risk factor related to child abuse. The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) endorsed the re-introduction of the bill.
“In a violent household, companion animals are often victims of the same abusive behaviors that harm children, intimate partners, and vulnerable adults,” said Nancy Blaney, director of government affairs for AWI, “Often, the first person to identify a child in a dangerous situation is a law enforcement officer responding to an animal cruelty call.”
