The investigation of child abuse and child fatalities requires the concerted efforts of many disciplines and agencies from social work to medicine and law enforcement to name but a few. The following information represents an effort by the New York City Multidisciplinary Child Fatality Review (NMCFR) to aid professionals and interested parties in conducting investigations into the deaths and abuse of children.
