A quick definition of Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act:

The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is a law that helps prevent, identify, and treat child abuse and neglect. It was created in 1974 and updated in 1996 to make sure children are safe. The law gives money to states to help them stop child abuse and neglect. There is also a National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect that studies why child abuse happens and helps agencies prevent and treat it. CAPTA is important because it helps protect children and make sure they are safe and healthy.

A more thorough explanation:

The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is a federal law that provides funding to states for preventing, identifying, and treating child abuse and neglect. It was enacted in 1974 and amended in 1996 to emphasize child safety.

The Act established the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in the Department of Health and Human Services. This center studies child abuse, conducts research into its causes, and makes grants to agencies for the study, prevention, and treatment of child abuse.

For example, if a child is being physically abused by their parent, CAPTA provides funding to agencies that can help the child and prevent further abuse. CAPTA also helps agencies identify and report cases of child abuse and neglect.

Overall, CAPTA is an important law that helps protect children from abuse and neglect and provides resources to help those who have been affected by it.

@baddestbunny: I did not see that comment. Sorry about that. I listen to war and peace whenever I want to fall asleep. I used to listen to more audiobooks for school. I really don't anymore but most of my political theory was learned via audiobooks. Like the basics. Schmitt, Locke, Mills, Thoreau, Aristotle, Plato, etc.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.
