Child Protection at the Crossroads: Child Abuse, Child Protection, and Recommendations for Reform
P o l i c y S t u d y N o . 2 6 2
Child Protection at the Crossroads:
Child Abuse, Child Protection, and
Recommendations for Reform
BY SUSAN ORR, PH.D.
Executive Summary
Today, with few variations, state laws surrounding child abuse and neglect look remarkably similar. All
share similar definitions regarding abuse and neglect; all require professionals to report suspicions
under threat of prosecution; all provide confidentiality to anyone involved in an investigation—from
the person making the allegation to the children and family members involved. These similarities are not
accidental, but were accomplished with relative ease a quarter-century ago. They are the intended
consequences of a federal law first passed in 1974 known as the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act
(CAPTA).

Commentary: Keep bureaucratic hands off our children... even the fat ones! - National Extreme Weight Loss | Examiner.com:
The news is everywhere, it seems, that a child in Ohio was removed from his mother and placed in foster care because they believed that the third grade child was too fat, or to be specific, "dangerously obese" at over 200 pounds and his mother was not doing enough to prevent it.
This sets a very dangerous precedent and needs to be addressed. The emotional trauma expericenced by both parent and child when separated by the government will be a lifetime scar on the psyches of both for the rest of their lives. But this must be ok, right, since one cannot actually "see" an emotional scar.
An article in the Los Angeles Times about the Ohio case discusses an August 2000 case in New Mexico in which a three year old girl was removed from her mother for two months because of her weight. Both mother and daughter still seem traumatized by the event more than 11 years later. And, it turns out the kids was later diagnosed with a medical problem that was the main cause of her excess weight. It was not because her mother was incompetent.
