RESPONSE TO REPORTING AGGREGATE AND TREND DATA ON CHILD DEATHSBOARD MOTION (ITEM NO. 48-B, AGENDA OF OCTOBER 12, 2010)
On October 12, 2010, and further amended on November 3, 2010, by motion ofSupervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas and Mayor Michael D. Antonovich, your Boarddirected the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), in consultation with the Department ofChildren and Family Services (DCFS) and County Counsel, to compile vital Los AngelesCounty child death statistics for the past ten years including, but not limited to: 1) thetotal number of deaths of children with prior DCFS history; 2) age, area of residenceand area of death location of the child; 3) cause of death and circumstances; 4) abuseor neglect status; 5) alleged perpetrator in homicides; 6) DCFS status and placement attime of death; 7) race/ethnicity of the child; and 8) indication of whether one or bothparents were minors at the time of the child's birth. In addition, your Board directed theCEO to report back with a plan to designate a single County entity to be responsible forconsistently tracking and compiling Los Angeles County data on child abuse, neglect,and deaths.
i. Reportinq Aqqreqate and Trend Data on Child Deaths
A work group consisting of CEO, DCFS, and County Counsel members convenedin October 2010 and met on a regular basis to review and analyze availableaggregate data on child fatalities with DCFS history. The intent was to gather dataon all modes of child fatalities - including for example, natural deaths, accidentaldeaths, third-party homicides, and suicides. It was determined that the state's ChildWelfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS) was the appropriate data

source to compile aggregate child fatality data going back to Calendar Year (CY)2000.
It is important to note that CWS/CMS does not track all of the requested dataelements required in the Board motion. For example, CWS/CMS does not trackmode-of-death per the Coroner or location of the incident that led to the child'sdeath. To the extent that CWS/CMS tracks fatality data, not all data fields aremandatory which may result in the imperfect capture of data. In addition, over theyears reporting requirements have changed whereby the Coroner started to reportall child homicides, rather than just homicides believed to be caused by abuseand/or neglect by a parent or caregiver. This change resulted in an increase in thetotal number of child deaths reported, starting in CY 2005. To that end, aggregatedata from CWS/CMS is difficult to validate going back to CY 2000, and may notpresent comprehensive information on child fatalities that can be used to analyzechild fatality trends and patterns.
To present more current and comprehensive information on child fatalities,additional analysis and validation was conducted to report on data elements thatare not tracked within CWS/CMS for CY 2010 only. These additional data elementsinclude: 1) Fatalities with a reasonable suspicion or a determination that
abuse/neglect led to the child's death (Senate Bill 39); 2) incident location; and3) final mode-of-death per the Coroner. For comparative purposes we have alsoprovided data on children with an open DCFS case in CY 2010 and generalpopulation statistics on children living in LA County.
The Board motion calls for child fatality statistics for children with DCFS history.The following chart depicts the parameters by which DCFS history was defined forthe purposes of this report:

Issues with Existinq Child Fatalitv Data
Efforts were made to compile child fatality data that CWS/CMS does notsystematically track; however, it is evident from reviewing the available data that astandardized process for compiling and reporting pertinent child fatality data needsto be developed. For example, there is no systematic data available on child fatalitytrends and circumstances. Clear, concise data on child fatality trends, such asgang-related shootings and co-sleeping deaths, will allow for more informed policydiscussions related to child welfare. In addition, there are a multitude of entities(e.g., Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect, Coroner, law enforcementagencies, hospitals) within Los Angeles County that track and report data on childfatalities and a lack of a single entity responsible for cohesively bringing the datatogether and reporting informative trended data to the Board. Therefore, thedepartment will focus on working with these County agencies and departments todevelop a comprehensive approach to tracking and reporting pertinent child fatalitydata.
11. Sinqle Entitv
The Board has moved that the CEO designate a single entity to report on childabuse, neglect, and deaths in order to present meaningful data that can informcritical policy decisions in enhancing child safety and well-being. As mentionedabove, there are numerous entities that cross-report child fatality data and there is aneed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the various data elements thatare currently being tracked in order to establish an effcient and timely reporting
protocol of the most informative data. The CEO will convene a work group with thespecific purpose of developing a standardized process for compiling and presentingpertinent child fatality data to the Board. This group will also determine which dataelements should be tracked in order to provide the Board with data that can informdiscussions related to child welfare. Clear parameters for determining whether achild has DCFS history will also be standardized by this workgroup. In addition, theCEO will develop criteria that will facilitate selection of a single entity to beresponsible for future reporting. Additional information on the implementation ofthese efforts can be found in Attachment A.

A status report on the progress in determining criteria for reporting pertinent childfatality data to the Board and establishment of a single entity will be provided.
