900,000 Children Abused or Neglected Annually

A study focused on children younger than 1, and found nearly a third were one week old or younger when the abuse or neglect occurred.

Most of these cases involved neglect, and may in part reflect families without health insurance that are not getting adequate care for their children, said David Finkelhor, who is familiar with the data but was not involved in the study. Finkelhor directs the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. See Video
