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 2001, a total
of 19,822 maltreatment reports were received
with 19,722 of those reports assessed.
There were 13,237 reports in which the investigation was determined as
unsubstantiated, 709 that could not be completed because the family could not
be located, five reports in which the investigation was exempted for
religious reasons and 100 reports in which the results of the investigation
had not been completed. Of the completed child maltreatment
assessments, 29.26% (5,771) revealed preponderance of evidence of child
maltreatment. |
