The extant infrastructure for child abuse surveillance, dependent on reporting by schools and healthcare professionals, has been disrupted by the pandemic. Using Google Trends and MediaCloud data, we find a drop in Internet searches and news reports about child abuse and neglect during the pandemic, which may reflect decreased scrutiny.
