President Nixon signed a bill in 1974 called the Federal child abuse prevention program. This program provided research and state aide for child abuse prevention and treatment programs. The law also established a National Center for Child Abuse and prevention in the Office of Human Developement, Health, Education, and Welfare.This article talks about how the law should changed and that there should be a emphasis on family to prevent child abuse.

This information can be useful in learning the history and the law of child abuse. The author that produced this article is Henry E. Hankerson. This source seems reliable in their information. Some biases that I detected would be how the law should change and have a better emphasis on family. The article talks about how the law should help families of abused children to prevent future caregivers from abusing their children. This article talked about how abused children are more likely to abuse their children in the future.

I guess you could say the article wants to help abused children end the cycle of abuse by working with the family to stop future abuse from taken place. This can be a bias because not every abused child abuses their children. Some additional questions that I would pose would be how many abused children were investigated; there should be an investigation to see how many abused children abused their children.
