Abstract
The suggestion is often made that hospital-based child protection teams are expensive, should be funded from outside sources, and somehow are not really the responsibility of a pediatric service. On the contrary, we feel that hospital-based child protection teams are properly funded along with all other medical care through the usual sources. In order to place the cost of a typical workup of an abused child in perspective, we have compared it to the cost of the evaluation and initial treatment of children with diabetes mellitus and leukemia.
