After looking through many websites on the Internet I came across a very good source that had a lot of information about the shocking statistics of child abuse. By finding all of this information , I think that it will help me a lot in writing my paper because it is a great way to let people how much child abuse is really taking place in the world that they live in. One would never know that so much child abuse is taking place.
One of the most shocking statistics that I found out was that approximately 80% of child abuse is perpetrated by a parent or caregiver. A parent and a caregiver should never do that to their child. They are not really a parent if they do such things because no good parent would want to afflict that pain and trauma in their child's live. A good parent would make sure that this would never happen to their own child. It is sad to think that some kids will never feel safe in their own home.
Another awfull fact that I found out about child abuse is that childern under the age of 4 account for 75% of all child abuse deaths. Kids 4 and under are just starting their lives out and having fun, why would anyone want to harm they child and not alllow them to live a normal life as a kid. It is upseting to think that kids so young have to go through this pain and are not able to live a normal life as a child and just have fun.
All these statistics are very shocking and are something that need to be decreased. If you see any sign of abuse you should report it right a way so that the child does not have to go through another day of pain. People need to do whatever they can so we can reduce these statistics.

Ally: Nice job finding information and beginning to focus your research. Question is now: Who will this essay be focused to? In another post, you say something like "it's your job to report child abuse." What will be the purpose of the essay and to whom will it be targeted?
