Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation

Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from Cohort 6

A Brief Profile of Abuse

• 18,000 children a year become disabled as a direct result of abuse: 1500 per month, 50 a day

• It is estimated that 25-27% of children with disabilities sustained these disabilities as a direct result of abuse (Baladarian, 1991)

• A child with a functional disability has 7 times greater risk of being abused (NCCAN Report, 1993)

Page 3: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

• The incidence of maltreatment among children with disabilities was 1.7 times higher than for children without disabilities (Beach Center, 1995)

• 85-95 % of persons with developmental disabilities have been abused at some time in their lives (Baladarian & Duehn,1996)

Page 4: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

Adults with a developmental disability are

one and one half times more likely to be abused than adults without a developmental disability (D. Sobsey,1994)

98.9 % of the time, the victim knows the offender (W. Duehn, PhD., University of Texas)

Stress Alarm Signals

Minor hassles seem like a big deal

Problems are overwhelming

Major changes in life: promotions, job changes, moving, birth of a child, holidays, etc.

Options seem few or non-existent

Individual feels… He/she is alone No one seems to care No one will listen, such

as family, friends, work colleagues, etc.

What is abuse? Physical Abuse: Any act (or failure to act) performed intentionally or recklessly that causes, or is likely to result in, harm to an individual including: infliction of physical or mental injury; unreasonable use of restraint; isolation that harms or is likely to harm the person; medication that harms or is likely to harm the person; and unreasonable use of physical or chemical restraint

(psychotropic meds) or isolation as punishment, in direct conflict with a physician’s orders or in substitution for treatment [of more concern for adults with disabilities in placements]

Page 7: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

Sexual Abuse: Any sexual act between an adult and a minor (under age of 16 in Kansas) or between two minors when there is a five-year or more age difference between the older perpetrator and the minor victim; or when anyone over 16 yrs. old does not consent; or when the perpetrator knows or should know that the victim is incapable of resisting or declining consent to the sexual act due to mental deficiency or disease or due to fear of retribution.

Page 8: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

Verbal Abuse: A threat or menacing conduct directed towards an individual that results or might reasonably be expected to result in fear, or emotional or mental distress to the person. Verbal abuse refers to any degrading, dehumanizing, menacing or threatening communication used against an individual.

and appropriate clothing Provide and coordinate medical care,

oversight of medications, health and safety Protect from social and physical danger Provide education, services and supports

Mandated Reporting You are a mandatory reporter of Abuse,

Neglect, and Exploitation Two reporting centers (Wichita & Topeka) Call-takers are no longer able to tell if the

child/adult receives HCBS and should contact SRS

If the person has a disability (physical, emotional, intellectual), tell the call-taker

Page 13: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

When should you call?

Evidence of ANE is serious enough for medical or legal intervention by authorities

Unexplained patterns of incidents that may indicate abuse or neglect is happening

Suspected criminal involvement Person tells you they have been abused or

neglected Violations observed of denying a person’s rights,

or the unauthorized use of restrains, seclusion, or psychotropic medications

Page 14: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Adapted from a presentation developed by Tri-Valley Developmental Services (TVDS) and shared with KIPBS by Julie Kent from

What are the steps for the mandatory reporting of possible ANE? Call the Kansas Protection Report Center (PRC) hotline, if

you suspect a child is being abused or neglected in Kansas Cell phone users should call 785-296-0044 If calling in Kansas but outside of Topeka, call (800) 922-5330 If calling in Topeka or outside of Kansas, call (785) 296-2561/0044

If the child has a disability, call the CDDO after the hotline If the child has a disability and also receives waiver services

of some type, contact the appropriate SRS Performance Improvement staff person

PRC phone lines are staffed 24 hrs. a day/7 days a week All calls must be made within 24 hours of the incident! Every call is taken seriously & every effort will be made to

protect your identity. In an emergency, call 911 or local law enforcement.

Mental Healthhttp://www.srskansas.org/hcp/MHSIP/pdf/MH_PI_QA_sups_directory.pdf

If it is known that the child is on the MR/DD waiver, the CDDO would also like to know about the report.

When a report of abuse or neglect is made to SRS, an Initial Assessment is completed to determine if SRS should become involved. If the report meets the criteria for SRS involvement, it is investigated by a social worker or special investigator. Law enforcement may also investigate if a social worker is not available or a joint investigation is warranted. If it is determined that a child's safety is at risk, then a recommendation is made by SRS or law enforcement to the court regarding the necessary action that should be taken. The court is ultimately responsible for the decision to remove a child from the home. This may require placing the child in foster care or with a relative. When making a recommendation to remove a child, SRS must weigh the emotional harm of being removed from the home, with the likelihood of harm if the child remains in the home.

Child Protective Services (CPS) may also be provided in non-abuse or neglect situations, without proper parental care and control, truancy, and runaways. Investigations often result in families being referred to services such as family preservation, foster care, or other services available in the community.

Do not wait. Do not hesitate. You must act now. You must act immediately. You don’t need to get anyone’s permission

to make the calls. It is the responsibility of Kansas SRS to

make the determination of abuse, neglect or exploitation—not you!
