In addition to costs in the Child Protective Services System, it is estimated that each incident of child abuse in Travis County costs at least $75,000. This figure includes mental and medical health care costs, police time, lost wages for family members, emergency child care services, and social services. This conservative estimate does not include costs for investigation, prosecution, incarceration, offender treatment, family members services, or foster care.(Source: CAN Community Assessment - Victim Services 2003)
