Abstract
In the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal in 2011, the Pennsylvania General Assembly appointed a task force to review our child protection system. In 2012, the Task Force on Child Protection released a report which analyzed problems with Pennsylvania's system. The legislature responded by passing twenty-three new laws, many of which went into effect on December 31, 2014.
