Child abuse legislation and increased public scrutiny have made child abuse the main focus of child welfare agencies.

Thus relieved of excessive demands, child welfare agencies could refocus on treatment and services to economically disadvantaged clients. A framework for intervention in allegations of child abuse is proposed.
