New York's efforts to end child abuse got a big boost when 340 "child-protective specialists" completed the Administration for Children's Services training.

The caseworkers' ranks will be augmented by 39 "investigative consultants" former NYPD personnel who will help in abuse probes and who also graduated from the six week program.

The city now has 1,300 such specialists and 60 investigative consultants.

The new caseworkers, honored at a ceremony at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, were hired as part of a recruitment campaign the city hopes will keep the number of abuse cases at 12 per specialist.

From January to August, the city investigated 43,338 abuse or neglect allegations.

There is no way to stop child abuse, unless we have our privacy taken away, and cameras are installed in every home, in every room.

BS! U stop abuse by encouraging children and parents to come forward. At the very least show them they have a chance at due process.

Maybe some of us should organize and take the course as well. Then kids could call us if they won't call the cops and someone will know how to properly begin an investigation.
