Reporting Abuse And Duty To Protect/Warn: California & Arkansas

Abstract: 6 pages in length. The prevalence of abuse throughout the United States is not restricted to any age group, gender or ethnicity; that abuse crosses all lines of demarcation speaks to an equal opportunity offense where verbal or physical harm often goes undetected when the victim is either unable or unwilling to report the abuse. For those in California and Arkansas who have suffered at the hands of an abuser but are either afraid or wholly incapable of saying so, laws exist so that others may step in and ultimately make the report in the victim's defense. Nowhere is this more important a legal intervention than when children are targets of abuse. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
