I came across this article today written by the NCCPR (Natioanl Coalition for Child Protection Reform).  The study it discusses is so important that I thought I would share it here.  Related to family preservation and foster care - the study covers what does and does NOT curb child abuse deaths in Texas... and as it relates to other states across the country.  Very interesting.  We welcome your comments.

Man Swings Baby on VideoThis is a very interesting story of something that happened recently in Australia.  There are a couple of things going on here.  One centers around child abuse charges over a video of a man swinging a baby by its arms.  The other - around a second man who uploaded the video to a video sharing site.  Both face at least 10 years in prison.
