This report provides a profile of 7,029 Albertan youth (aged 12 to 17 years) who were the subjects of investigations into possible maltreatment by a parent/guardian in 2008/09. In investigated cases where intervention is not needed,the file is closed (no intervention needed). Cases where maltreatment is found to have occurred can lead to interventions that include services within the family home (out of care services), or that require the youth to be removed from their home and placed into care.
