Every day an average of 5 kids die from child abuse in the U.S. 2/3 of teenagers and adults who become addicted to narcotics were abused or neglected as children. 899,000 children and teens reported being abused in the U.S and almost twice that amount go through it but never report it. 63,527 kids and teens reported being sexually abused in the U.S. 56% of them are girls, and 48% of them are guys who are abused physically or sexually. 1 out of every 3 girls are sexually assulted by the age of 18. 48% of children and teens who are abused or neglected commit suicide. 68% of all kids and teens who are abused self-harm. Kids and teens who are abused are twice as likely to be abusive to their spouses or kids. Child abuse has to stop. No child should have to live through that, and it’s never going to stop if no one tries to stop it.
