Children are most vulnerable between ages eight-12. The average age for first abuse is 9.9 years for boys and 9.6 years for girls. Victimization occurs before age eight in over 20 percent of the cases. Another study found 24 percent of female child sexual abuse survivors were first abused at age five or younger.

The average age for child abuse varies, but children under the age of 10 are most commonly affected. It is important to note that child abuse can occur at any age, and its effects can be long-lasting.

If one counts abortion as a sort of prenatal child murder, the number and age status is unqualifiable. The churchmen target Abortion with bulls-eye precision ( Abortion kills Babies!) but are slow on the draw with abuse of living children. it is a sad paradox.

Can nine year old kids have babies?

Generally, no, but there have been children who did. The youngest to have a child was a little girl in South America who was 7. To have a child at such a young age a child would have to go through puberty first. Not many children do enter puberty at such a young age. The average age is 11 or 12. A child having sex at any age younger than 18 is sexual abuse and is against the law.
