From where does the National child abuse and neglect data system obtain its data?

From police reports in selected states
From hospitals and schools
From Child Protective Services in all 50 states
From voluntary reports by parents

The correct answer is: From Child Protective Services in all 50 states

The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) primarily gathers its data from Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies across all 50 states. This comprehensive approach ensures a standardized collection of information related to reports of child abuse and neglect, investigations, and the outcomes of those investigations. By relying on CPS data, NCANDS can provide a national perspective on trends and issues related to child welfare, helping to inform policy and improve intervention strategies. While police reports, hospitals, schools, and voluntary reports by parents can provide valuable insights into child welfare and develop a complete understanding of children's safety, they are not the main sources of data for NCANDS. The system's focus on the data provided directly by CPS allows for consistency, reliability, and a structured approach to addressing child abuse and neglect across the nation.
