DETROIT — The rate of child abuse and neglect rose by more than one-third in Michigan during the past decade, the result of high unemployment and inadequate social programs, according to a new report released today.

The annual Kids Count in Michigan report found about 32,500 children in the state were confirmed as victims of abuse or neglect in 2010.

Stating that the Crime Branch-CID of the State police had not properly investigated a case relating to the alleged sexual abuse of a four-year-old child by two school teachers, the Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered transfer of investigation to the CBI.
