Unfounded Allegations--A New Child Abuse Problem.
Besharov, Douglas J.
Public Interest, n83 p18-33 Spr 1986
Child advocates have succeeded in getting child abuse recognized as a serious social problem requiring governmental response. Ironically, this success now threatens the viability of child abuse programs: 65 percent of all reports are ultimately dismissed. This flood of unfounded reports violates parental rights and overwhelms the limited resources of protective agencies. (KH)
