Now for those who wish to know some further details according to a study done by child psychologist Wade F. Horn 9% of all child abuse is done by the mothers live in boyfriend. A further 12% is done by stepfathers.
Furthermore according to Government Reports a child living with both biological parents is statistically Eight Times less likely to be abused then a child living without both biological parents.
Oh and that favorite statistic of Advocates that 20% of children will be abused.
Lets break it down ust a drop.
There are no seperate stats for molestation the basis for this claim is the fact that the year before this number surfaced Reports were that there were 3.2 million cases of abuse reported in the U.S.A.
However a closer look at these stats are somewhat startiling
Roughly One Third of these cases were unable to be substantiated at all, of the remaing two thirds that CPS considered valid only 25% were found out to be real cases of abuse. Thats right only 25% percent meaning 3 out of 4 were not.
What was the most prevalent form of abuse?
Emotional Abusewhich were approx. 59% of the allegations
Only 10.8% were allegations of sexual abuse.
A further interesting note is that approx. 1 out Five cases of child abuse originated from the internet!
Again Aries all thaese stats are real and availible to anyone willing to look around a drop online.
