How many children die from abuse and neglect?

According to the U.S. Children's Bureau, approximately 1,750 children die from abuse and neglect each year in the United States. This statistic highlights the severe consequences of maltreatment, with many cases often going unreported. Globally, the numbers can vary significantly, but the World Health Organization estimates that millions of children experience violence, with a substantial portion suffering fatal outcomes. Efforts to address and prevent child abuse and neglect are critical in reducing these tragic statistics.
