]]>Lindsey Bullinger, Ph.D., a child abuse researcher at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, said fewer in-person interactions with CPS in the pandemic can be good for families, especially those at low-risk because CPS (Child Protective Services) has therapeutic responsibilities to help parents get back on track, as well as punitive ones.
"On that hand, this is good for those families -- they are no longer having to go through that process," Bullinger told MedPage Today. "On the other hand, we could be missing out on some very tragic cases."
