In this episode of 'One in Ten,' Teresa Huizar interviews Dr. Emily Putnam-Hornstein (UNC Chapel Hill) about how homeschooling intersects with child abuse and neglect, emphasizing that homeschooling is growing (about 2 million children) while reliable data and regulation vary widely by state and are often minimal. The conversation covers rare but egregious torture cases, potential child-focused oversight for high-risk families, barriers to policy change, and the importance of reporting concerns to hotlines.  Time Stamps: 00:00 Homeschooling And Hidden Abuse 01:21 Why Study Homeschooling 02:08 Data Gaps In California 03:52 How Common Is Homeschooling 05:31 Politics And Polarization 06:59 Mandatory Reporters Explained 09:23 Training Gaps For Families 11:14 State Rules Vary Widely 12:37 Torture Cases And Limits 16:04 Child Focused Policy Ideas 19:47 Notification And Oversight 23:45 Support And Cyber Schooling 28:36 Why Reforms Keep Failing 32:00 Advice For Professionals 34:13 Anonymous Reporting Concerns 36:15 Wrap Up And Thanks Resources:Homeschooling and child maltreatment: A review of the regulatory context and research evidence in the United States - ScienceDirectSupport the showDid you like this episode?
