Abstract
Following an initial report of alleged child abuse, basic information should be collected to determine whether maltreatment has likely occurred. As part of a multidisciplinary approach, law enforcement and child protective services must establish contact with the child, collect preliminary case information, and assess child safety, the risk of imminent danger, and the need for immediate medical attention, generally within a mandated time frame. This information is generally obtained through a minimal fact interview with a child.
