Source: Federal NCANDS data via Fostering Court Improvement, Georgia county summary (victim reports). Georgia Appleseed holds a contract with the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services. The figures here come from the federal child-maltreatment data file as published by Fostering Court Improvement and are shown without adjustment. Twelve months ending September of the year shown. DFCS publishes no county-level data files of its own, which is why the federal data file is used. One period so far; earlier years accumulate as the monthly pull continues.
