AB  - Preventing  child  maltreatment  fits  well  with  the  goals  and  scope  of  pediatrics,  as  expressed  by  the  American  Academy  of  Pediatrics’  commitment  to  “prevention,  early  detection,  and  management  of  behavioral,  developmental,  and  social  problems  as  a  focus  in  pediatric  practice.”1  The  prevention  of  child  abuse  and  neglect  has  benefits  at  the  level  of  the  individual  child,  the  family,  the  community,  and  the  society  at  large.  Sparing  a  child  from  the  physical,  cognitive,  behavioral,  and  emotional  problems  associated  with  maltreatment2-6  is  intuitively  and  morally  preferable  to  intervening  after  the  fact.
