It is sad that child abuse has increased in 2014 according to government data, and that more than a few states saw a significant increase.

 

States with more than 30 percent increases in maltreatment in the past five years include Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee, according to the report.

 

They only account for about 700,000 instances of abuse, I wonder how it breaks down by race.

 

It's true there is also the possibility they are biased to get funding, but that is unclear to me.

 

I heard this on the radio and do not know if there is more current or relevant data, if so please share it.

With the news as it is, it seems with government child abuse is not only not being solved, it is getting worse. How unsurprising that is...

I wonder how much immigration is responsible/correlated

 

I don't think much wondering is required, on such a topic.

 

And thank you for sharing this information, Matt.
