Abstract
Recently released national child maltreatment data for 2008
show a generally encouraging situation during the first year of
the serious recession that began in late 2007. Overall substan‐
tiated child maltreatment declined 3% from the previous year,
including a 6% decline in sexual abuse. Child maltreatment fa‐
talities stayed stable.
