What will be an ideal response?
Rates of child abuse and neglect have varied from about 1% to over 50%, but the most common range is between 15% and 30% of children are maltreated at some point in their lives. These estimates are based on self-report and substantiated cases that have been reported. Additionally, the actual rates of child maltreatment are dependent upon the nature of the data, (e.g., survey or administrative), the definitions, measurement, and timeframe in which the data are collected.
