5 US Children Die From Child Abuse Each Day - Family News Story - WSB Atlanta:
"A new report shows that child abuse and neglect kill more children in the United States than in any other industrialized nation -- five every day.
Deaths By State Faces Of Child Abuse
Every Child Matters Education Fund President Michael Petit wrote that the report should be a wake-up call.
'This is a report sure to sadden -- and perhaps to anger. How could it be otherwise when we look at the innocent faces of children whose lives were cut short by abuse or neglect?' wrote Petit.
The report, We Can Do Better: Child Abuse and Neglect Deaths in America, was released by the Every Child Matters Education Fund. It found that at least 10,440 American children died from abuse or neglect between 2001 and 2007. The report noted that the number of children killed could top 15,660, but poor record keeping could have missed many deaths."
