Child Abuse in America

Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and
neglect. Every year 3.3 million reports of child abuse are made in the
United States involving nearly 6 million children (a report can include
multiple children). The United States has the worst record in the
industrialized nation – losing five children every day due to
abuse-related deaths. ^{1
