lously believed to be a moral obligation has become a legal respons ibility under new provincial legislation Heather fom ily service supervisor for the Children s Aid Society says although suspicions of child abuse were supposed to be reported to the society or the crown attorney the law had no weight The big change in the new Act is now there some pen ally for failing to report This gives the more weight she said Changes to the Child Welfare Act specifically dealing with child abuse were made June 15 by the Provincial Government The new law now threatens a pen ally failing to report Goulden said the new law also puts a heavier obligation on professionals Under the new law the Children Aid Society is hoping for more calls and input by the public regarding suspected cases Professionals especially in the medical and educational fields should be working closer i th the society reporting any suspicions they have regarding abase Goulden said another idvantage of the new law is the definition of abuse which has been provided Abuse is now defined as physical harm severe malnutrition or mental ill child The third area is sexual abuse of children said the soc iety tries to protect the anonymity of the person reporting the suspect We are careful to pro tect the identity of the public However we are less sympathetic towards other professionals We like to keep them anonymous but the prof are in this to gether with us trying to protect the welfare of the child Goulden said the law encourages the reporting of cases of abuse therefore increasing the work load for the Child ren Aid Society This new law means the Children aid has to be in a position to respond to the increased number of calls in a professional manner However the financial position of the society makes it difficult Without increased Defuse parent anger Board of Education moved to defuse potential parent resentment towards teachers who report cases of suspected child abuse trustees voted to endorse a motion from the separate school board in London and Middlesex County which asks he help from Queens Park it will be very difficult for us to respond at the level the law is stating The government has increased the staff by one worker in Halton to deal with the increased work load Is child abuse on the increase in It s hard to say according to Goulden There is an increase in the number of cases reported but this necessary reflect such a drastic increase in numbers being abused just those reported said last year nine deaths in Ontario were the result of abuse Goulden said the Children Aid will be working with an average of families at anyone time Up to 50 per cent of these are high risk sit Not abuse cases but the potential for abuse is there If we can get in there during a high risk situation then we can stop the chance of abuse taking place About ID per cent of these result in actual abuse said the ret ion which amounts for per cent of tht society s budget is very support ive The provincial government provides the other BO per cent The new act should help us to be more mf about suspected cases of abuse but manpower to cover these cases effectively If we dor get the funds more than per cent of the high risk situations become abuse statutes need the money to hire said of Ray Kennedy Construction READY MIX CONCRETE SAND GRAVEL CRUSHED STONE SA TURD A Y DELIVERY
