What is the average age that children get abused?

Answer 1

Children are physically or sexually abused at all ages. It has nothing to do with the age of the child, it has to do with the child's availability to an abuser. Since it's likely that much more abuse occurs than is ever reported, any statistic like this would also be meaningless.

Answer 2

Children can be abused at any age but there are more likely times in ones life to be abused. (13-16 is a common range). Children are more times than not abused by someone the child knows like a step-father, uncle, neighbor, church member, etc. Children can be abused at anytime of day and normally in a location the child or abuser knows.

Answer 3

It can start as early as birth and could go on as long as the abuser is alive. Age is not an issue.

Answer 4

something like 10 to 20 max

Answer 6

Answer 7

Abuse can happen to children of any age.
