National Child Abuse Prevention Month / Child Abuse Data • According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, over 3 million cases of child maltreatment are reported each year, with 558,899 substantiated in 2022. • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC: — Child abuse and neglect are common. At least 1 in 7 children have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States. This is likely an underestimate because many cases are unreported. In 2020, 1,750 children died of abuse and neglect in the United States. — Children living in poverty are reported to experience more abuse and neglect.

This economic burden rivals the cost of other high-profile public health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes. ... See MoreSee Less
