I can’t say that I honestly know. Depending on how you would define abuse, I would say maybe one in 30 or 40. Either way, even one is far too many.
I fully admit that I am possibly way off with my number; I suspect that there will be those who overdramatize and say it’s even more, or, I may be overestimating (I certainly hope so). I do know that the numbers that the so-called child “advocates” give for other types of abuse in our community are grossly inflated, but I have much less experience in the domestic abuse sphere to be able to give an answer.
Again, even one is too many. And I have no doubt that the numbers are much, much lower in our community. I would love to hear your opinion of the numbers (I’m assuming you probably have a better idea than I do…)
