The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System reports that three children die of child abuse in the home each day. Children are most commonly abused by someone they know, and in 79% of cases, the perpetrator is a parent. Child abuse can set up a perpetuating cycle of suffering and more violence later in life, potentially reaching to future generations. Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. One out of every four girls will be sexually abused by the time she reaches 18.
