The Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board
February 23, 2004
The Honorable, The Senate:
We are pleased to share our 2001-2003 biennial report. The Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention (CANP) Board is Wisconsin's lead organization in promoting awareness, developing materials, and funding and assisting child abuse and neglect prevention programs.
S628
As you look through the enclosed report, you'll notice that the Children's Trust Fund efficiently uses our existing resources to prevent child abuse and neglect in Wisconsin, and more resources are urgently needed. For example, last year we received 82 applications statewide for family support grants and we only had the resources to fund 15.
We will see a major reduction in the incidence and costs of child abuse and neglect only when we are able to fund prevention at a higher level. Also, we need to increase our investment in prevention to keep the high costs associated with intervention and treatment from rising even further.
