STATISTICS — INTRODUCTIONThis statistical document is an addendum to the State Fiscal Year 2014 Child Abuse and Neglect Statistics and pertains solely to child deaths and near deaths that were investigated and substantiated to be the result of child abuse or neglect by the person responsible for the child’s care. The 34 child death and 56 near death victims in this document were previously included in the overall total of 14,159 children substantiated to be victims of abuse and neglect in state fiscal year 2014.
The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) is charged with the responsibility of promptly investigating all reports of child deaths and near deaths alleged to be the result of abuse or neglect by the person responsible for the child’s care. Persons responsible for the care of children are parents, guardians, custodians, foster parents, any other adults living in the home of the child, and operators, owners, or employees of child care facilities or homes.
For purposes of this document, the definition of near death is when a child is admitted to a hospital in either serious or critical condition with injuries sustained from abuse or neglect by the person responsible for the child’s care. DHS began publishing near death data in state fiscal year 2004.
