Book excerpt: Introduced by Senator Gerald Cardinale, Governor Kean speaks about breaking through the wall of indifference that then existed in reference to child abuse. Prior to this time, there just were not enough resources to find solutions to this pervasive, but sensitive problem. Governor Kean formed the Governor's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect. He explained that the then 19 members of the task force included leaders from business, community programs, schools, hospitals, colleges, law enforcement agencies and government. The Task Force instituted a toll free hotlline to provide 24/7 hour assistance. As a follow-up, the task force established a statewide child assault prevention program, CAP.
