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