~A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds.
~In 2005, 899,000 children in the US were victims of child abuse, neglect and maltreatment: 90% suffered neglect, 3.6% suffered medical neglect, 13% were physically abused, 4% were sexually abused and 1% were psychologically mistreated.
~The child victimization rate rose from 11.1/per 1,000 children in 2002 to 11.9/per 1,000 in 2003. 16.4% of these victims were under age 3 years, 48% were male children and 52% were females. 54% of the children were Caucasian, 26% African-American, 12% Hispanic and 8% Other/Unknown.
~In 2005, New York State had 42,641 substantiated reports of child abuse, neglect and maltreatment, approximately 14 of every 1,000 children in the state.
~The recurrence rate for a child victim to be re-victimized within 6 months is 14.1%
~79.4% of those adults perpetrating against children are the parents of the victim. One-third of all parents who were abused in childhood, typically abuse their own children. 81% of families with reported cases of child abuse, neglect and maltreatment were involved in alcohol & substance abuse.
~Child Abuse is a risk factor for violent behavior in adolescents and adult criminality. Child victims are 59% more likely to be arrested as juveniles, 30% more likely to be arrested for violent crimes in adulthood and 33% more likely to abuse drugs.
~The United States spends $258 million daily as a direct or indirect result of child abuse, neglect and maltreatment. These costs include foster care, police protection, medical attention, incarceration, and alcohol and drug abuse treatment. The costs of child abuse and neglect are borne not only by the abused children, but by society as well. These costs could be greatly reduced by taking steps to prevent the abuse and maltreatment of children.
~The Center works with children, youth, parents, the general public, mandated reporters (such as teachers, medical professionals, and daycare providers) civic groups, schools and other agencies to prevent child abuse and neglect. Please call and find out how you can help us keep our children safe in Dutchess County. Financial contributions are always greatly appreciated.

~More than bruises and broken bones
~While physical abuse might be the most visible sign, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse or child neglect, also leave deep, long lasting scars
~The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal from their abuse and not perpetuate the cycle
~Physical abuse is just one type of child abuse
~Not all abusers are intentionally hurting their children
~Many have been victims of abuse themselves and don't know another way to parent
~Others may be struggling with mental issues or a substance abuse problem
~While abusers can be strangers most of the time it is someone in the family or someone close to the family
