# **Drops in Child Abuse & Neglect Reporting During COVID-19**

**Virtual environments were integral in the shift to remote work and education. However, a completely virtual world has come with drawbacks, especially in the youth and child welfare system. Throughout the pandemic, there has been a drop in child abuse and neglect reports to Child Protective Services (CPS) in the United States.
