Utah leads in child abuse

SALT LAKE CITY — There are more substantiated child abuse cases, per capita, in Utah than anywhere else in the United States. Local experts believe intervention, although beneficial, isn’t helping enough children, and more needs to be done to prevent child abuse and neglect from ever happening in the first place.

“If we care about families and kids, we need to change our thinking,” Tracy Gruber, director of the Utah Department of Workforce Services’ office of child care, said during a meeting of the Utah Coalition for Protecting Childhood at Red Butte Garden. “There are lots of people who are not successful because of the system and policies in place.”

There were 10,612 validated cases of child abuse in Utah in 2017, according to data from the children’s bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Eleven children died that year from maltreatment.

According to the Utah Coalition for Protecting Childhood, social determinants that deal with finances — including food insecurity, utilities, housing and transportation costs, as well as employment status — contribute not only to child abuse and neglect, but also lead to worse health outcomes and other problems that continue generation after generation.

It probably has nothing to do with the church, so nothing to see here.

YES IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE Mormon CHURCH. Good thing they have 32 BILLION in investments. Hate to use that on food for the poor.
