The Issue
Child abuse and neglect are common. At least 1 in 7 children have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States. This is likely an underestimate because many cases are unreported.
The Consequences
There are at least 42 million survivors of child sexual abuse living in the U.S. today.
The Solution
report child abuse or neglect in the state of Georgia 24/7, call 1-855-GA-CHILD (1-855-422-2445).
Stay current with ways to end abuse and trauma:
