Give the Scale of Child Abuse National Attention

More than one million children suffer abuse and neglect each year in this country. There is no single cause for this problem, and there is no simple solution.

Help stop this violence among the most innocent victims by urging a comprehensive report on child abuse to be issued by the Surgeon General >>

In the time it takes you to read this, another child has been abused.

It is sad, but in 2003, an estimated 906,000 children were confirmed to victims of physical abuse or neglect situations. A national spotlight needs to be focused on this epidemic that continues to occur under the scope of national attention.

Call for the U.S. Surgeon General to prepare a comprehensive report on child abuse and neglect occurring in this country.

In the past, reports by the U.S. Surgeon General - such as the 1990 report on children and smoking, or the 1999 report on the prevention of suicide - have brought important health issues much-needed national attention, and resulted in both federal and private initiatives that made a significant impact.

A comprehensive report on child abuse will help us unite public health and child welfare resources necessary to create a safe, caring and healthy future for our children.
