Child Abuse

Over 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect are reported each week by the child protective services throughout the United States. About 900,000 children are victims of child abuse and neglect in the United States each year. In my opinion, this is way too much. The four main types of abuse are physical, sexual, mental, and neglect. A way to take care of all four types would be to educate. Educating children to tell someone they are being abused and to learn how to be better parents would help eliminate future cases. Also the education of safe sex practices would help reduce the amount of unwanted babies that may have unstable parents. Not one single solution will take care of all child abuse cases in the United States, but education may have the most impact.
