38 42 U.S.C.A. § 5106a(b)(2)(B) (West 2014). "The original CAPTA authorized the creation of the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN)” housed in the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) “to help establish the parameters of the problem and to provide incentives for developing effective methods of treatment.” S. REP. 111-378, at 4 (2010). In 1980, HEW split into the Department of Education and the HHS. Kurt Stout, Spotlight: Centers for Medicare and Medical Services, CAPITOL MARKETS (Nov. 14, 2013), http://www.capitolmarkets.com/category/agencies/hhs/. In 1984, CAPTA was amended to reflect this split. See Act of Oct. 9, 1984, Pub. L. No. 98-457, § 101, 98 Stat. 1749, 1749 (“striking out ‘Health, Education, and Welfare’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘Health and Human Services’”). CAPTA was again amended in 1996; those amendments included renaming the Center to the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect. See Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Amendments of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-235, § 101, 110 Stat 3063, 3064.

42 See Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. No. 102–586 § 9(a), 106 Stat. 4982 (codified at 42 U.S.C.A. § 5106a (West 2014)). The case of Adam Mann had prompted a documentary that revealed failures in the child welfare system based on records obtained by the filmmaker. See Who Killed Adam Mann?, (PBS Frontline Dec. 3, 1991); Robert Koehler, TV Review: A Tragedy of Abuse in PBS’ “Adam Mann,” L.A. TIMES (Dec. 3, 1991), http://articles.latimes.com/1991-12- 03/entertainment/ca-426_1_adam-mann. The records that served as the basis of conclusions in the documentary were not usually available to journalists, and what they revealed prompted calls for more openness and accountability in the child welfare systsem. Id. 43 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Amendments § 9(a); see also id. § 9(c) (providing a “sense of the Congress” that all states develop formal “interagency, multidisciplinary teams” to review cases in which a child known to have suffered abuse or neglect dies, and whenever there is evidence of negligence by the State in handling a report of abuse).
