美国传统的儿童保护制度强调政府通过司法途径对高危家庭进行干涉,对有缺陷的抚育行为基本不干涉。该制度对报告儿童虐待的案子除司法调查外,没有或很少为家庭提供服务。最近,美国很多州对该制度进行了改革,改革后不仅强调法院调查,也强调在需要的基础上对虐待儿童的风险家庭提供服务。 The traditional system of child protection in the United States emphasizes that the government intervenes in high-risk families through judicial channels and basically does not interfere in defective parenting. The system provides no or little service to families other than judicial investigations of cases of child abuse. Recently, many states in the United States have reformed the system, not only emphasizing court investigations but also emphasizing the need to provide services to families at risk of child abuse.
