The basis for government’s intervention in child maltreatment is grounded in the
concept of parens patriae—a legal term that asserts that government has a role
in protecting the interests of children and in intervening when parents fail to
provide proper care. Beginning in the late 19th century, States and local
jurisdictions started initiating mechanisms to assist and protect children. Then
in 1912, the Federal Government established the Children’s Bureau to guide
Federal programs that were designed to support State child welfare programs as well as to direct Federal aid to families, which began with the passage of the
Social Security Act (SSA) in 1935. The child welfare policy of the SSA layered
Federal funds over existing State-supervised and administered programs that
were already in place.

This booklet presents CAPTA as amended by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003. The booklet also contains the Adoption Opportunities program and Abandoned Infants Assistance Act, as amended.
