A person commits child abuse in Colorado when he/she harms a child under the age of 16 or places the child in a potentially harmful situation. Penalties for child abuse range from (3) months in jail to life in prison, depending on 1) whether the child was injured or died, and 2) The severity and frequency of the abuse.
Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. It’s the widespread war against our children that we have the power to stop, and understanding the issue is the first step. Just how bad is the issue of child abuse in the United States?
Here is some statistics that One might find shocking:
- Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agency involving more than 6.6 million children (A referral can include multiple children).
- The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations-losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.
- A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds.
- Yearly, referrals to state child protection services involved 6.6 million children, and around 3.2 million of those children are subject to an investigative report.
- In 2014 alone, state agencies found over 702,000 victims of child maltreatment,

children face is not recognized or reported by adults.
