Per the CDC, at least 1 in 7 children experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States. This number is estimated to be even higher but many cases go unreported. This is an extremely heavy topic that we hope we can help to bring more awareness to. This Episode contains risk factors, how to prevent and what we do when we are called to a suspected child abuse case.
