CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT STATISTICS - Oklahoma ...

Investigation of deaths typically take over a year to complete due to their complicated nature and
necessity in waiting for certain information from other entities. Thus, including the death statistics
significantly delays the production of this entire statistical document. It is for this reason that a separate
statistical document pertaining solely to child deaths and near deaths will be produced later as an
addendum to this report.
OKDHS received 68,111 reports on families and determined after screening that 32,421 reports had
allegations that met the definition of abuse and neglect and required investigation or assessment.
There were 34,030 children for whom an investigation was completed and a finding made. There were
10,202 children for whom an assessment was completed. Findings are not made in assessments.
