still searching...but getting interesting (i cant believe this)

After my interview that I spoke about with Janine I really wanted to find some basic information that I really did not want to find in the beginning but think it is a piece of the puzzle to find the answer to my question “ how can we get kids to have the courage to come forward on their abuse?”
I went and searched Goggle and typed in basic “child abuse facts it brought me to this really interesting site it had a lot of nice questions, one that I found most interesting was the amount of children reported and investigated for abuse or neglect! There are more than 3.25 million reported a year in the U.S. and physicians make 56% of the reports! Also since 1996 the amount of children being abused and neglected has increased 18%. There were so many different facts stated. (Prevent child abuse)
This has made me really think and want to answer the questions so much more because no I really know how many kids are suffering in the world. Also because of decreasing the amount abused it has increased at least 2% a year.
