Starting research on child abuse

For my topic I have chosen child abuse.  This is a topic very close to me personally, for reasons I am not quite comfortable sharing online.  I was given an article by Mr. Kramer on the topic.
The article was a New York Times opinion by Bob Herbert titled "Children in Torment".  This articel was striking and appalling, listing instances of children who died from child abuse.  This was an interesting article, but I will be focusing more on the abuse that can be more easily concealed.  I will be looking into the beatings that do not result in death.  I feel that these are the important cases to be dealt with in order to prevent escalation to that extreme level.  Prevention is the way to stop this; not treatment, since that is when it ususally too late. 
I will keep everyone updated on my research and findings.  I definitely will be dedicating a lot of effort to this since it is so important to me.  Thank you for reading this.
