The Division of
Children and Family Services maintains, via an interagency agreement with the
Arkansas State Police an around-the-clock statewide intake process for
accepting reports of alleged child maltreatment. During state fiscal year 2002, a total of
18,541 maltreatment reports were received and
assessed. Of these abuse and neglect
reports, 12,273 were unsubstantiated, 532 could not be completed because the
family could not be located and 30.94% (5,736) revealed preponderance of evidence
of child maltreatment. |
