Child Abuse

      In North America child abuse occurs to 1 in every 3 girls and/or 1 in every 6 boys before the age of 18, child abuse is mistreatment of a child by a parent, or guardian, including neglect, beating, and sexual molestation. The abuse doesn't always come from home either, sometimes it comes from organizations like schools or communties the child interacts with. Every 10 seconds a child is abused, raped or even killed in the US, in a day around 5 children die from being beaten, raped, etc. Only about 28% of children identified as harmed by abuse are investigated. Child abuse is a big problem that shouldn't exist and should be looked into more and watched more closely to by the government and police. Children can't pick there parents so how is it fair that from day 1 they get abused, and hurt, and have to bleed for no reason at all. Around 14% of men and 36% of women in prison were abused as children, so it does make a major impact on the world even for the people who are not getting abused.
