Most of the times there are children that are physically abused but there are also children that are sextually abused. For example, let’s use a guy named Kony. Kony is a guy that would take children in the middle of the night and take them away from their family any use them as slaves, also used them to fight and ordered them to kill
their own parents, and he would use the women as sex slaves.This is an example of sextual abuse and physical abuse. What Kony did to those kids will live with me for the rest of my life.


In 2008, one out of every 601.4 children were victims of physical abuse, with parents of victims accounting for almost 80.1% of abusers.2.34 children out of 100,000 die from injuries relating to their abuse, with 80.8% of deaths occurring in children under four years old.For every incident of child abuse or neglect that gets reported, it’s estimated that two others go unreported.Neglect is by far the most common form of child abuse, accounting for more than 78% of all cases.Physical abuse accounts for 17.8% of documented child abuse cases each year.A fourth of all girls and a sixth of boys are sexually abused by an adult before the age of 17.8 out of 10 sexual abusers are someone in the family or someone the child knows.Every month, at least 100 babies are born to drug-using mothers.Of kids who have a parent who uses drugs, one in 13 is physically abused regularly.Abused children are more likely to abuse alcohol and become addicted to drugs, and one third will later abuse their own children.Of all prison inmates, 84% were abused as children.Sources

Here are some facts about child abuse that I recieved from this website http://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-child-abuse

This is very sad that this much abuse is being done and the consequences are not severe punishments. I have been doing my research on consequences on child abuse and it says that if social services finds out they can remove the child from the home and be sent to a foster home. Or, the child can be taken away and have to go live with family members. Also the parent/parents could lose permanant custody of the child.  Child abuse needs to end this foolishness is getting out of hand. The consequences needs to be bigger and there needs to be more awareness about this subject and
there needs to be more helping!! Thank you so much for taking your time to read this and really hope that you stand with me against the fight for NO MORE CHILD ABUSE!!!!!
