1 billion for Prevention
<x-html><HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3 FAMILY="SERIF" FACE="Times New Roman" LANG="0">I have been reading this list for over a year and find it exceedingly
<BR>helpful. I have not sent any communication before since I am a new
<BR>researcher and looking to learn. I was made aware today of the Bush
<BR>administration's request for $1 billion for Prevention. While this prospect
<BR>excited me initially, on reading about the grant for Safe and Stable
<BR>Families, I wonder how much it protects the traditional families more than
<BR>the abused child. Please provide some perspective from your years of
<BR>experience.

Gentlemen...
I am trying to locate statistics dealing with child abuse/child abuse
fatalities committed by biological parents vs adoptive parents to use in a
research paper for school. Unfortunately, though much data is out there, I
don't seem to be able to lay my hands on statistics that would provide a
direct comparison between the frequency of occurrence in relationship to
the biological/sociological caretakers.
Do you, by any chance, have such statistics available? I would appreciate
any assistance you could provide. Thank you.
Regards,
Dottie L. Tatem
