[QUOTE="donna723, post: 403868, member: 1883"] There absolutely should be some type of registry but it would depend on what kind. The sex offender registries are only for those who have been CONVICTED of sex offense crimes. This sounds like some type of in-house registry for the social workers to use, a data base made from cases in their files. Would it contain names of those [I]suspected[/I] of child abuse so that they would be aware if that name came up again? Or would it contain only the names of those where it was substantiated and charges filed? I know in Central Florida they were compiling a data base of verified or suspected cases of child abuse that came through the hospital ERs or doctors offices. Many times the abusive parents would take the child to one hospital one time and another hospital the next time to keep from being recognized. My daughter worked as an ER nurse at one of these hospitals and had to go on "light duty" for a while when she hurt her shoulder. They put her to work entering these cases into the data base and she sat there day after day going through all these sad cases. It just broke her heart! [/QUOTE]
