In 2003, 77,086 New York State children were abused or neglected, 17 of every 1,000 children in the state. The NYS Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment, the Child Abuse Reporting Hotline, received 147,339 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect, involving 245,515 children. Upon investigation, 44,495 (30 percent) were substantiated as situations of child abuse and neglect. (There are more child victims than reports, because more than one child is involved in some cases.) Compared to the prior year, the number the number of reports increased by 4 percent from 153,664, but the number of substantiated cases decreased by 5 percent from 46,761Nationwide, states’ child protective services agencies investigated reports of suspected abuse and neglect of 3,353,000 children in 2003. Upon investigation, 906,000 children*, or 31.7 percent, were found to be victims of abuse and neglect, a rate of 12.4 maltreatment victims for every 1,000 children in the U.S. population. This is a 5 percent increase in number of children investigated or assessed, and a 1.1 percent increase in the number of substantiated child victims, compared to 2002.


*A child was counted each time he or she was found to be a victim; the adjusted estimate is 803,000 unique child victims.

Please Help us win the fight.
