Children's Healthcare Is a Legal Duty USA (d/b/a CHILD USA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit think tank housed at the University of Pennsylvania.  The current child abuse and neglect statistics are staggering; they are also incomplete.  CHILD USA identifies the deficiencies in law and public policy that endanger children, does the legal and social science research to better understand the issues, formulates the better approach, and helps facilitate laws and policy that truly protect children.  Each of CHILD’s research projects examines a problem at the intersection of the law, medicine, and policy.  These analytics will inform public policy to effect meaningful change and better facilitate a child-centered society.   

The ultimate goal is to use this information to protect each and every child from abuse and neglect.
