This is so shocking to me! I had no idea the percentage is so high! I’m doing a report and presentation on this matter. My position argues that the state should step in when dealing with a child who has been abused or neglected. The statistics in this article will shock my audience and i need it too. I would love to get more information that would back up my arguement, if you could help in anyway it would be so appreciated! I also need the authors name of this article and the date this was published. Thank you for all of your help 🙂
