I have learned many things during my time with Globaloria, but the most important is that child abuse happens mostly at the child's house.  There are several forms of child abuse that follow under physical and mental abuse.  There are few cases of child abuse in organizations and schools.  Neglect, and child sexual abuse are other formas of child abuse.
An interesting fact that I learned while looking at Child Abuse is that 54% of child abuse is neglect, 22% is physical abuse, 8% is sexual abuse,  4% is emotional maltreatment, and 12% is other forms of maltreatment.  Child neglect is where you can not provide medical, food, and attention to your child/children.  In one year there was 90,000  cases of  child neglect.
