TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Whatever happened to Mary Ellen? JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Lazoritz, S. SP - 143 EP - 149 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - It is well recognized that the organized response to child abuse in the United States began with the rescue of a little girl named Mary Ellen from the abuse inflicted upon her by her stepmother.
