You are quite incorrect. Services are usually provided families whose
children have not been removed.

Actually doug, you are quite incorrect.

Hi, Ron,

Nope, services are most often provided to family members when the children
remain in the home.

518,000 child victims of substantiated reports received post-investigation
services in 2004 (services provided during or after an investigation). This
involved 59.4% of child victims. 19% of child victims were removed from
their substantiated families. And 40.6% of child victims received no
services at all and remained in the home. http://tinyurl.com/h24ht

Of the 518,000 child victims who received services, around 165,531 child
victims were removed from the home -- which constituted the "service."
352,469 of the child victims who received services (68%) remained in the
home before, during and after the investigation. http://tinyurl.com/h24ht

Once again, services are most often provided to family members when the
children remain in the home.

718,000 child non-victims from families unsubstantiated for risk of or
actual child maltreatment received services in 2004 (27.3% of the 2,631,000
children found in CPS investigations to be non-victims). 102,609 of these
non-victims were removed from their unsubstantiated families. That means
that 615,391 non-victim children who received services remained in their
homes before, during and after the investigation. In other words, 86% of
the non-victims who received services remained in the home.

Services are provided to families AND children, both before and after
removal. Removal itself is a service, for the child.

The "child based" statistics you quote and we both reference with the same
URL counts the non-victim or child victim as receiving services if his or
her family received services. Simply put, NCANDS tracks two sets of
data...case based and child based. Child based data would show services
provided the child if she or anyone else in case received services.

"Almost 60 percent (59.4%) of the child victims received postinvestigation
services. Nearly 30 percent (27.3%) of nonvictims received such services."
