sentences: Lihou Reef National Nature Reserve is a former marine protected area covering an area of 8440 kmin the Australian Coral Sea Islands Territory that was incorporated into the new Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve in December 2012.
 Together with the Coringa-Herald National Nature Reserve, from which it is separated by about 100 km of open ocean, it forms the Coral Sea Reserves Ramsar Site, designated on 16 August 2002, listing it under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance.
The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (Public Law 93-247) provides federal funding to States in support of prevention, assessment, investigation, prosecution, and treatment activities and also provides grants to public agencies and nonprofit organizations for demonstration programs and projects.
 Additionally, CAPTA identifies the Federal role in supporting research, evaluation, technical assistance, and data collection activities; establishes the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect; and mandates the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information.
 CAPTA also sets forth a minimum definition of child abuse and neglect.
National Child Abuse Prevention Month, also known as Child Abuse Prevention Month in America, is an annual observance in the United States dedicated to raising awareness and preventing child abuse.
 April has been designated Child Abuse Prevention Month in the United States since 1983.
 U.S. President Barack Obama continued that tradition, and in 2016 issued a Presidential proclamation stating: "During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we recommit to giving every child a chance to succeed and to ensuring that every child grows up in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment that is free from abuse and neglect."
Task Force Argos is a branch of the Queensland Police Service, responsible for the investigation of online child exploitation and abuse.
 Founded in 1997, the unit’s original charter was to investigate institutional child abuse allegations arising from the Forde Inquiry.
Kathleen Anne Marshall (born 4 June 1953) is a British solicitor and legal scholar, specialising in child law.
 From 1989 to 1994, she was director of the Scottish Child Law Centre.
 From 2004 to 2009, she was Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People.
 She has been involved in a number of inquiries into child abuse: she chaired the Edinburgh Inquiry into Abuse and Protection of Children in Care (report produced in 1999) and she chaired the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Northern Ireland (report produced in 2014).
The Forde Inquiry (1998–1999), or formally the Commission of Inquiry into Abuse of Children in Queensland Institutions, was a special inquiry into child abuse in the state of Queensland, Australia, presided over by Leneen Forde AC, a former Governor of Queensland.

 A Tribunal of Inquiry, often simply called a tribunal, is a powerful type of statutory inquiry whose procedures are governed by the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 as amended.
 An Oireachtas inquiry is a less powerful non-statutory inquiry controlled directly by the Oireachtas (parliament).
 A 2013 proposal to strengthen the power of Oireachtas inquiries was defeated at a referendum.
 The Law Reform Commission published a report in 2005 examining the operation of public inquiries and recommending changes.
 A commission of investigation is a different form of inquiry, with evidence generally given in private; provided by the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 to address scandals relating to medical care and child abuse.
Queensland (abbreviated as QLD, or less frequently Q) is the second-largest and third-most-populous state in the Commonwealth of Australia.
 Situated in the north-east of the country, it is bordered by the Northern Territory, South Australia and New South Wales to the west, south-west and south respectively.
 To the east, Queensland is bordered by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean.
 The state is the world's sixth largest sub-national entity, with an area of 1,852,642 km.
Child abuse in New Zealand is defined under section 2 of the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989 and is the harming of a child by physically, emotionally or sexually ill treating them through abuse or neglect.
 Prevention of such abuse in New Zealand is seen as a high priority by the New Zealand government as well as relevant non governmental organisations due to the prevalence of child abuse cases occurring in New Zealand, particularly when compared with other developed countries.
 This response is consistent with New Zealand’s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at article 34 – 35 which deals specifically with Child Abuse.
 This convention places obligations on New Zealand as a state to protect the rights of the child and was ratified by New Zealand in 1993.
