WI–Child abuse bill passed by Legislature
MADISON, Wis. – Child welfare agencies would have more reporting responsibilities under a bill passed by the Legislature designed to increase public awareness of child abuse and neglect.
The Senate and Assembly passed another bill Tuesday that would allow the state to hold child care owners and officers personally liable for payments incorrectly made under the Wisconsin Shares program.
The reporting proposal was inspired by the November beating death of a 13-month-old boy and the torture of his 2-year-old sister in Milwaukee.
Under the bill, the state would be required to inform the public about children who have been killed or seriously injured due to abuse or neglect. Supporters say the changes will help increase public confidence in the child welfare system.
