“Oregon lawmakers advanced a bill Monday [April 30] they said will clamp down on child abuse and neglect and make it easier for authorities to identify children victimized by adults.”
The bill, known as “'Karly's Law,’ after a 3-year-old girl who was tortured and killed by an abusive adult,…would require children involved in ongoing child abuse investigations with 'suspicious physical injury' to undergo a medical assessment within 48 hours by a doctor trained to identify child abuse.”
