Child Abuse & Neglect

Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention

 

  • Support restoration of $80 million in state funds (and $40 million in matching federal dollars) for services to abused and neglected children that were line-item vetoed out of the 2009-2010 budget.

 

Child abuse and neglect increase the risk that kids will grow up to commit violent crimes.  The best available research indicates that, based on confirmed cases of abuse and neglect in just one year, close to 5,000 children in California will grow up to become violent criminals as a result of the abuse and neglect they endured as kids.  Full funding of child welfare services for abused and neglected children is needed to prevent abuse in the first place and ensure that children who are abused live in safe homes.
