There are numerous pieces of legislation and policies that work to combat child abuse and neglect. Some have been long standing and work effectively, while others have inherent problems and have proven to be minimally effective. Please identify one policy on a local, state, or national level that you find important. Describe the legislative issue in detail so that others may understand it.

Please describe the legislation of your choosing, its current structure, how it currently meets a need, and what you would recommend for improvement from a professional advocate perspective.
