Child abuse is the single leading cause of death in children ages 4 years and younger. What are the signs of child abuse? Who is responsible for reporting the child abuse? Three or more children in the United States die every day as a result of child abuse they received in their own homes.

  • Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation; or
