Quick Facts

10 Seconds

Every ten seconds a child is victimized by abuse or neglect
   

 Texas has 718 reports of child abuse per day.  
   
  Last year alone, there were 4,098 reports of child abuse in Collin County, averaging over 11 reports each day.
   
  Between 2000 and 2009, the Collin County child population increased 81%. During that same time period, the number of children confirmed as victims of abuse increased to 152%. 


A National Call to Action states that the rate of child abuse is ten times the rate of cancer.



 Report suspect child abuse to 1-800-252-5400 or 911. To have even a single child victimized by abuse is too many. If we don't protect our children, who will?
