First sentence: Five thousand children are killed by their parents each year; that is over thirteen children each day!

Since the enactment in 1974 of the federal laws covering child abuse, the reported increase in the number of child abuse cases had led many to speak of child abuse as epidemic in America. One in seven children is reported to be the victim of child abuse. Who are the child abusers? What do I as a professional do when I suspect abuse? This book is both a personal story of a young woman who was the victim of child abuse and a source book for teachers and professionals who deal daily with the problem. THis book contains reporting resources, curriculum ideas for teachers, and public awareness materials.
