  More than 3 million children witness domestic violence in their homes every year.

  25% of abused children are under the age of 3.

  44.4% of children who died because of abuse or neglect were younger than one year of age.

  Of child abuse cases in 2012, in over 80% of the cases, the parent was the perpetrator.

  In a study of young adults who suffered child abuse or neglect, 80% met criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder by age 21, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicide attempts.
