Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the United States, the government's intervention into family life is viewed as a last resort. The judicial system recognizes the importance of preserving the family unit, and as a result, child maltreatment cases often involve attempts to rehabilitate families rather than remove the child from the home. This approach is based on the principle of least intrusive intervention. Thus, (C) is a correct statement about the judicial system and child maltreatment.

A) is not correct because the number of reported cases of child maltreatment has increased over time, and more cases are being reported now than in the past. 
B) is not correct because proving child maltreatment can be challenging, especially in cases of emotional abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse. 
D) is not correct because child maltreatment can have a profound impact on the attachment between the child and their parent or caregiver. Children may feel a strong attachment to their parents despite experiencing abuse or neglect, which can make intervention and removal more challenging.
