The number of youths in the United States subjected to abuse or neglect is reported to be approximately 1.3%. Is this number an accurate representation of the true rate of abuse or neglect? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Likely, this number vastly underreports the rate of abuse or neglect. The number can only be based on reported incidents. Many incidents, particularly of emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect, may go unreported. Further, a study that asked older adolescents to report their lifetime history of abuse indicated that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys reported some form of sexual maltreatment. The most common timing of this treatment was between the ages of 15 and 17 and the most common perpetrators were other adolescents.
