It is a problem which crosses all socioeco- nomic boundaries and is not a biological affliction, child abuse can be likened to a rampant disease of modern society that injures all it touches and leaves behind deep emotional scars. To enlighten the general public as to how they can help reduce the incidence of child abuse, April, 1984 has been proclaimed National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Although activities will focus our attention this April on the identification, treatment and laws concern- ing child abuse, I would like to note that our state has been working for quite some time to combat the mis- treatment of young people. A new New York State regulation takes effect this month that requires hospi- tals to establish written procedures for reporting suspected child abuse and neglect to state authorities. Hospital staff members will be designated to coordinate procedures and training to determine whether hospital- ized children might be the victims of child abuse or neglect. 1 would like to note that I supported legislation this year which would remove the requirement of corrobo- ration with the victim's tes- timony in sex offense cases involving children. (A 9042) I have also sponsored leg- islation denying immunity to persons reporting child abuse and neglect when the state Department of Social Services or district attorney determines that the person may have inflicted the abuse or maltreatment. (A 8952) Persons who suspect child abuse among their families or friends often feel at a loss about who to contact. To receive calls concerning child abuse and neglect, a 24-hour toll free hotline has been set up in New York State. The number is 1-800-342-3720. Many factors contribute to child abuse, including financial stress, parental attitudes regarding disci- pline, social isolation, and. cultural acceptance of vio- lence as a part of life. A vast majority of reported child ^abuse cases involve inade- quate care, neglect. Exces- sive physical punishment and sexual abuse also con- stitute a sizable number of child abuse cases. Child abuse won't go away should we choose to ignore it. National Child Abuse Prevention Month should inspire us to contrib- ute what time and effort we can toward the reduction and elimination of child abuse and neglect from our society.
