Abstract
As child abuse in the nation is on the rise, reporting by healthcare providers is on the decline. This paper is a review of current statistics related to child abuse and proposed resolutions to decrease the level of underreported child abuse in the healthcare setting. This article brings to light possible reporting barriers and solutions to overcome those barriers.
