| Description | The number of child abuse and neglect cases dropped slightly last year, for the third year in a row, but the number of children who died as a result or neglect or abuse rose slightly.
The numbers, released last week by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children & Families, are for the one-year period from Oct. 1, 2008 to Sept. 30, 2009, and only include those cases for which there were dispositions – which often occur months after an initial report.
