Child abuse and neglect: reports.

Existing federal and state law requires the State Department of Social Services, as the state agency that administers and oversees the state's child welfare program and as a condition of receiving certain federal funding, to, among other things, monitor and evaluate activities carried out in the state's child welfare programs and report suspected instances of physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or exploitation, or negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child receiving specified aid.
