Calls For Renewed Effort To Prevent Child Abuse

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kcur/local-kcur-866507.mp3

Kansas City, MO –
A new report says more than ten-thousand American children died between 2001 and 2007 due to child abuse and neglect and the actual number may be thousands higher. The report calls for an expanded federal role to plan, coordinate, and fund solutions to this scourge.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
