Scope of the Child Abuse Issue
Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies involving more than 6.6 million children (a referral can include multiple children).

There were 39,773 gun deaths in 2017, up by more than 1,000 from the year before. Nearly two-thirds were suicides.
The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.
