The Clinton administration proposed tougher federal and local child abuse and murder laws to curb violence against children. Plans include easier felony murder charges in child deaths, penalties for violence in the presence of a child, training for law enforcement and court staff, community mental health involvement, and a national conference to raise awareness.
