Child abuse affects the lives of many American children. Child abuse is nothing new; it has existed since the beginning of time. Child abuse is a complex problem with no easy solution. Child advocacy centers (CACs) have developed because of an increased awareness of the problem of child abuse within our society and the recognition of a true need to better respond to the problem. CACs provide communities with a multidisciplinary approach to investigate, manage, treat, and prosecute cases of child abuse. CACs can be an invaluable resource to primary care providers, including pediatric nurse practitioners; services provided and ways to access services will be discussed.
虐待儿童影响着许多美国儿童的生活。虐待儿童并非新鲜事，自古以来就存在。虐待儿童是一个复杂的问题，没有简单的解决办法。由于社会对虐待儿童问题的认识不断提高，以及认识到确实需要更好地应对这一问题，儿童权益保护中心（CACs）应运而生。儿童权益保护中心为社区提供了一种多学科方法，用于调查、管理、治疗和起诉虐待儿童案件。儿童权益保护中心对于包括儿科执业护士在内的初级保健提供者而言可能是非常宝贵的资源；将讨论所提供的服务以及获取服务的方式。
