Children whose parents abuse alcohol or drugs are three times more likely to be verbally, physically, or sexually abused, and four times more likely to be neglected. Approximately 9.2 million children live in a home where a parent or other adult uses illicit drugs, resulting in 9.2 million drug-endangered children. Whenever law enforcement responds to a call, there is no universal method for identifying these children exposed to drugs, violence, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and even commercial sexual exploitation. The Colorado Drug Endangered Children, Inc. (CODEC) Drug Endangered Children Tracking System (DECSYS) ensures quick identification of drug-endangered children, that appropriate agencies are involved, and that fewer drug-endangered children go unnoticed. The project purpose is to increase the ability of law enforcement and child welfare agencies to respond to drug endangered children. Ongoing evaluation of DECSYS is a necessary component of the system implementation and expansion efforts.
