Child Abuse and Neglect
More than three million reports of child abuse and neglect will be filed in the United States this year.
At least four children die from abuse or neglect every day — many in homes that are already known to child welfare agencies, and some in foster care placements made by the child welfare agencies themselves. The most extreme cases make headlines. But they tell only part of the story.
