General: The 1997 data were affected by the conversion of data from two stand-alone systems into a single integrated system.

Item 4.10: All victims have a guardian ad litem who usually talks with them in the courthouse as preparation for the hearing.

Item 5.1: This item contains only deaths for cases reported to Child Protection. Deaths that were investigated and reviewed by other State agencies were not included in this number.

Item 7.1: The system is unable to distinguish among types of employment (full/part time) or types of worker (social worker, clerical, paraprofessional).
