Hello, Ife,

The Children's Bureau collects and compiles national statistics on child
abuse and neglect through the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System (NCANDS).  Reports have been issued annually since 1992 (included
the 1990 data), with the 2003 data being the most current
(http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb/publications/cmreports.htm).
Historically the reports are released in April, in conjunction with
National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

A single, free print copy of "Child Maltreatment 2003" is available from
the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information, a
service of the Children's Bureau.  To order a copy of the print report
online, please visit the Clearinghouse website at
http://nccanch.acf.hhs.gov/general/stats/index.cfm, or a copy can be
ordered by contacting the Clearinghouse at its toll-free number,
1-800-394-3366, or by sending an email to nccanch@caliber.com.

For more current data on child abuse and neglect in Pennsylvania, you
may want to contact the Department of Public Welfare staff member who
provided the data for the 2003 report:

Susan Stockwell
Program Specialist
Office of Children, Youth and Families
Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare
Phone:  717.772.6902
Email:  sstockwell@state.pa.us 

I hope this information is helpful.
