Requires regional diagnostic and treatment center for child abuse and neglect to establish mobile team to respond to certain hospital requests to perform forensic child abuse examinations.
This bill requires New Jersey's four regional child abuse treatment centers to establish 24/7 mobile teams that respond to hospital requests for forensic exams on children under 13. Hospitals must contact their county's center when a pediatric patient under 13 has: (1) a referral for suspected abuse by a caregiver, or (2) injuries inconsistent with their explained circumstances. The mobile teams will perform exams at the hospital, and the bill appropriates state funds to support this service. It also mandates annual staff training on child abuse identification and reporting for hospital emergency departments.
