Thank you for visiting my site. If you have any ideas for the AAC, please e-mail me. Thank you, once again. An estimate of 1,185 child abuse fatalities were confirmed by CPS agencies. Based on these numbers, more than 3 children die each day by child abuse or neglect.
Young children remain at a high risk of fatalities.
Reports of child maltreatment involving day care centers and foster care homes attract a great deal of media attention. Although, this is small compared to the abuse in the home. It has remained for the past 11 years. This percentage is higher that those reported in past years. Substance abuse is clearly a primary contributor to child maltreatment.
