Childrens Bureau The Child Maltreatment Log (CML) is a computer-based program designed to record information about childrens maltreatment experiences and associated life events.Addressing concerns posed by scientific panels and grant review panels, the CML was designed to improve upon existing instruments to facilitate collaboration among researchers interested in maltreatment. The CML encourages researchers to collect information from multiple sources and informants concerning childrens maltreatment experiences. Rather than classifying types of maltreatment a priori, the CML allows researchers to describe childrens experiences using objective descriptors pertaining to potential acts of abuse, potential perpetrators, frequency, onset, consequential injuries, and treatment. The CML can be downloaded by interested agencies and groups without charge.
