Abstract
Child maltreatment is a significant problem within US society. Approximately 826 000 cases of child maltreatment were substantiated in the United States in 1999, of which more than 175 000 (21.3%) were cases of physical abuse.1 Rates of substantiated child maltreatment were highest among black children and other racial and ethnic minorities. While there were 10.6 cases of substantiated maltreatment for every 1000 white children, the rates for black, Hispanic, and Indian/Alaskan Native children were 25.2, 12.6, and 20.1 cases/1000 children, respectively.1Keywords
