What will be an ideal response?
Child maltreatment is innately personal, and often not disclosed to reporting agencies, or readily visible to mandated reporters. Definitions of what constitutes child maltreatment vary from nation, state, and local levels, making comparisons and estimations difficult. What is included as childmaltreatment in state and local statutes is also different. For example, exposure to domestic violence may be counted as child maltreatment in one state, but not another, making the former state’s rates of child maltreatment higher than the latter’s.
