Under this legislation, data collected from state child protection agencies under the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) could include information about animal abuse as a risk factor for child abuse. Weighing this additional factor would help identify opportunities to prevent both child and animal abuse or suggest when more specialized intervention is needed.<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201c<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><em>Information collected under NCANDS has been used to determine, for example, that children whose families face multiple stressors are at a higher risk of being repeatedly referred to Child Protective Services, and that some types of maltreatment are more likely to recur than others. By tracking child abuse cases related to animal abuse as provided for under the Child and Animal Abuse Detection and Reporting Act of 2019, NCANDS would provide another valuable tool to help identify the need for prevention and intervention.<\/em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><em>*<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>SOURCE OF MATERIAL IN AWI- ANIMAL WELFARE INSTITUTE.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #00ffff;\"><em>*********<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14.
