ties, one should clearly understand that child abuse and neglect can cause disabilities in a child. In fact, the National Coalition on Abuse and Disabilities estimates that 18,000 children per year are permanently disabled by abuse and neglect or suffer mental retardation or sensory and motor impairments.
Moreover, children with disabilities are abused at a rate of 1.7 times that of children without disabilities.
In recognition of Virginia’s Blue gibbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect during April, we hope that this information will improve your understanding of abuse and neglect of children without and with disabilities.
We encourage the citizens of our community to take an active stand against abuse and neglect of our youngest citizens.
