Not enough. the problems with Priestly child molesting are absolutely revolting but a reality check. child abuse takes many forms- look a the 5 year old girl found dead in North Carolina. this is no accident. oddly there is no Federal Agency ( there may be squads among the FBI) specifically with the problem of controlllng and preventing Child abuse, and its detection from a law-enforcement standpoint. There are special federal agencies dealing with Gun Control ( ATF), Drugs (BNDD) but oddly not a this writing, child abuse which is national in scope.l

Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence. Of course the attempted murder of a child IS abuse but the charge is different, it may also be an additional charge. Being charged with child abuse is not the same as being charged with the attempted murder of a child.
