Winn Sponsors Child Abuse Bill KU Drop Is State's Smallest
By RAMONA DUNN Kansan Staff Writer
"Child abuse is the leading cause of death among children under five years of age," said Ms. Kan), said recently. "It's estimated that anywhere from a half-million to two million incidents of cruelty, neglect and outright murder occur each year."
Winn introduced a bill to Congress on March 18 that would establish an $8-million grant-in-aid program to help enable the states to improve their child protection and child abuse prevention programs.
Russell E. Saltzman, Winn's press secretary, said that Winn sponsored the bill because he was against it. He also raised high rate of child abuse in...
Saltzman said that since 1966 child abuse has increased about 500 per cent.
ONE OF THE AMES of the bill is to obtain accurate statistics by requiring child abuse reports to be submitted to Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). Accurate national records aren't available at HEW.
Bill Nesbit, Douglas County Social Welfare employee, said Friday that although he didn't
have the actual statistics there were many incidents of both child abuse and child neglect in and in other parts of the nation.

NESBIT. A social welfare worker was pre-structured, and that each juvenile judge had a different idea of child abuse or neglect.
He said, that neglect can be anything from a fithy home to a hospital without proper medical care or permitting a child to use a car.
Abuse, Nesbit said, is the more difficult to prove in court. Abuse can be classified from bruises and burns to severe beatings.
Most cases of child abuse and neglect can be attributed to parental insecurity, said both Saltzman and Nesbit.
THE CHILD ABUSE control ill introduced by Winn would set ip state programs or sessions in the prevention of child abuse.
Those programs which might be judged inadequate could be
