Child-abuse report makes 3 general recommendations

Published: Tuesday, April 29 2008 12:36 a.m. MDT

• Amend federal law to clarify and strengthen disclosure requirements, so states know how to comply with its intent.

• Revise state policies and laws to make disclosure policies more enforceable.

• Separate disclosures from criminal proceedings so information on fatal and near-fatal abuse is made available no matter whether a criminal charge is filed.
