>>11435722Abuse REPORTS rise, not necessarily abuses itself. I remember reading about some phenomena where when the number of social workers rise in an area, so does the number of cases. I can't remember what the phenomena is called. It's not that cases go unreported when there were few social workers, just that you can find fault in everything if you look hard enough. And the more social workers you have, the more likely you are to find fault in someone, especially in this world where just using the wrong tone to a child can constitute abuse.
