SEC. 7. SPECIAL GRANTS TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF SU-
PERVISED VISITATION ON SEXUALLY ABUSED
OR SEVERELY PHYSICALLY ABUSED CHIL-
DREN.
(a) AUTHORIZATION.—The Secretary is authorized to
award special grants to public or nonprofit private entities
to assist such entities in collecting clinical data for super-
vised visitation centers established under this Act to deter-
mine—
(1) the extent to which supervised visitation
should be allowed between children who are sexually
abused or severely physically abused by a parent,
where the visitation is not predicated on the abusive
parent having successively completed a specialized
course of therapy for such abusers;
(2) the effect of supervised visitation on child
victims of sexual abuse or severe physical abuse
when the abusive parent exercising visitation has not
completed specialized therapy and does not use the
visitation to alleviate the child victim’s guilt, fear, or
confusion;
(3) the relationship between the type of abuse
or neglect experienced by the child and the use of
supervised visitation centers by the maltreating par-
ent; and
(4) in cases of spouse or partner abuse only,
the extent to which supervised visitation should be
predicated on participation by the abusive spouse in
a specialized treatment program.
(b) APPLICATION.—To be eligible to receive a grant
under this section an entity shall prepare and submit to
the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner
and containing such information as the Secretary may re-
quire, including documentary evidence to demonstrate that
the entity possesses a high level of clinical expertise and
experience in child abuse treatment and prevention as they
relate to visitation. The level of clinical expertise and expe-
rience required will be determined by the Secretary.
(c) REPORT.—Not later than 1 year after the date
on which a grant is received under this section, and each
year thereafter for the duration of the grant, the grantee
shall prepare and submit to the Secretary a report con-
taining the clinical data collected under such grant.
