In the United States, there is something called the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, abbreviated NCANDS. In 2006, they estimated and reported 1530 child deaths from abuse. This is approximately two fatalities per 100,000 US children. But this is a difficult number to assess. Why? Although with more social censure for abusers along with mandatory reporting for hospital workers, teachers, etc, many cases are certainly still going unreported. As an aside, included in this statistic is not only violent deaths, which together make up a greater percentage of child fatality than the more obvious, slower and sometimes even sadder, neglect. Things have gotten better, true, but the war has surely still to be won.
