Inspector General Cites Over a Thousand Cases of Child Abuse in Head Start

Understanding Child Abuse: An Overview

This troubling revelation includes supervision lapses, physical abuse, and unauthorized releases at Head Start locations nationwide. The Head Start program provides education services for underprivileged kids aged 0 to 5 years old.

Instead of fixing the main problems in the OIG report, the government is taking a different tack; moreover, they’re implementing a 30% increase in SEO rates. Additionally, the government is increasing salaries in Head Start, an institution with a budget of over $11 billion. Raising pay in the struggling program is a puzzling choice. Especially when there are no clear steps to hold leadership accountable, **consequently**, for the proven cases of child maltreatment.
The main issue is a lack of reporting or late reporting in cases of abuse. The widespread problems reveal a broader issue in how Head Start is supervised. This is a breakdown in a system that protects children at the most tender ages which makes them the most vulnerable. The first step is accountability. There must be a system set up that individuals are held responsible for the lack of reporting or late reporting of child abuse.
The Inspector General’s reaction to the findings in Head Start is concerning. It brings up questions about the government’s commitment to hold Head Start accountable. Leadership must stand up to protect our most vulnerable.
