neglect related fatalities; and (3) the investigation and prosecution 
of cases of child abuse and neglect, particularly child sexual abuse 
and exploitation. This Program Instruction contains information

achievements in addressing the investigation and prosecution of child 
abuse and neglect; and to report to Congress.
