Abstract
Our report outlines a strategy for how to realign our organizations and communities to protect our children
at highest risk of fatality from abuse or neglect. CPS agencies play a critical role, but waiting until a severe
injury has occurred to allow CPS to intervene misses numerous opportunities to protect these children in
their communities across this nation. By combining a proactive approach to child safety with a more
strategic response, we hope to make prevention of fatalities from abuse and neglect standard practice.
