These hearing transcripts present testimony on the effects of the agenda of past Congresses on child welfare and childcare, focusing on the need for welfare and social services reform, subsidized child care, and abuses of the 1974 Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). Testimony was heard from: (1) Representatives Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Dale E. Kildee, and Tim Hutchinson; (2) a Virginia parent who asserts that she was charged unfairly with child neglect; (3) a teacher and grand jury deputy foreman who advocates reform of CAPTA; (4) the legal policy director of the Family Research Council of Washington, District of Columbia; (5) the executive director of the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse; (6) a mother speaking in support of subsidized child care programs; (7) the director of income security issues for the General Accounting Office; (8) the executive director of the California Child Care and Resources and Referral Network; and (9) the associate director of a day care association in York, Pennsylvania.
