abuse cases. and the problems' of
reporting.
The CINA team was created in
February 1976 and ahat time
there were six reportedcases of
child abuse on the CAS files. A
year and one month later the CAS
file has swelled to more than
three times the number of cases,
not because of a surge of child
abuse —Fui —because of a more
efficient system of reporting
cases.
z. CAS administrator John Penn
pointed out that the reporting
system- created by CINA, the'
awareness of the types and
causes of child abuse and neglect
and the proven success of CAS
workers in most abuse cases had
prompted professionals -to point
out high risk cases. He said the
tripling of the case load was not
an indication of a rise in abuse of
children but was indicative of the
need for a more concentrated
effort to meet the needs of
neglected youngsters.
indicated a desire to be more
involved with child abuse. Public
health nurses would be taking an
equal role with cAS in the near-
future according to Jeffery w ho
said the nurses had even
organized their own committee to
become acquainted with Seaforth
brigade members. Betty Glanville
will be attending book inspettion

On May 6 at 8 `p.m. at the

The Seaforth - group will be

(From the 00040 Signal Star)
The Hilton County Children's
Aid Society is concerned about
unreported cases of child abuse ltin
Huron and set up a -special '
committee last year to improve
detection and reporting of abuse.
The etimmittee met recently to
update t its activities and report
progress in -various areas of
concern to the CAS.
The steering committee, aptly
named 'Children In Need—of •
Attention (CINA) is made up of a
combination of professionals who
may become involved in child
abuse cases and children's aid
workers.. The professions
included in CINA are law,
education, medicine., , police,
public health, psychiatry, social
services and hospital. The long
range goals ,established for the,
committee are listed as the early

tions where child abuse may
occur, mandatory reporting of

adding that the forms should go,
to a central ,location where they
are filed. He said once the abuse
is reported the CAS would, be the
final, destination for the reports.
Such a file would also prevent
people from merely going to
anotherhospital to • protect
themselves from detection.
Walker produced a sample
form he said he had received from
Victoria Hospital in 'London. He
said he did not know the author
of'the form but assumed it came
originally from Toronto Sick
Chadren'sil 'ospital.
,The doctor said the form would
be used only when the doctor ,
suspecting child abuse, felt the
situation should be investigated..
He said it would not become
something a doctor filled out as
standard procedUre when a child
is taken by its parents to a
hospital emergency' unit.
John Penn said the CAS had a
file of past cases and investiga-
tions that went back five years.
He said 'the files contained the
original reporting and subsequent
information discovered during
investigations and that the
informatiOn was available „ to
professionals.
The files cannot be perused by
the public but doctors, lawyers,
health nurses, police or any other
professional working-with a child
abuse case can look at .a particular
file for information. He said he
hoped the filing centre would be
