By: David Crary
The Federal Government recently issued a report entitled “The National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect” which found that 553,000 U.S. children suffered from physical, sexual or emotional abuse in 2005-06, down approximately 26% from an estimated 743,200 abuse victims in 1993, the last time the study was conducted. The study also found that poor children were three times more likely to experience abuse, and African-American and Hispanic children were at significantly higher risk for abuse than Caucasian children. The congressionally mandated study is conducted periodically by the Department of Health and Human Services.
