However, educational neglect and emotional maltreatment have always been included in the incidence studies, and eliminating them from the picture would not eradicate the significant drop in the overall rate of CPS investigations from the NIS-2 to the NIS-3.
Instead, we concluded that the NIS-3 findings "emphasize the need for better targeting, whether by reporters in referring children to CPS, by CPS screening practices in connection with reports, or by both."
If Besharov and Dembosky want to discount both increments by appealing to the same process (enhanced sensitivity) then they need to explain (1) why this process applied discontinuously in the NIS-3 and did not affect the intervening category of moderate injury or harm, and (2) how the NIS-2 respondents managed to overlook three-fourths of the children who had been seriously injured while at the same time evidencing greater sensitivity in identifying moderately injured children.
Note that the significant increases found in the NIS-3 were discontinuous across the outcome spectrum, occurring in only two categories: serious injury/harm and endangerment, both of which essentially quadrupled since the NIS-2 in 1986.
The NIS-3 findings may run counter to his position, but it is important for Besharov and Dembosky, and for readers of Slate, to get the facts straight.
