Child removal by CPS

["Finkelhor, David" <David.Finkelhor@xxxxxxx>]

We are trying to track down information on the rate of children removed
from their families on an emergency basis at the early stage of a CPS
investigation.  NCCANDS reports information on what percentage of child
victims are removed, but this appears to be include children who are
removed at any point.  I would imagine that the appropriate denominator
would be emergency removals as a percentage of all children subject to a
CPS investigation or a CPS report.
