A member asked:
Has the number of child abuse cases increased every year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It appears so: Child abuse has been rising consistently in the last decades. There are several theories ranging from better reporting to actual increase due to various reasons like substance abuse in care givers, split homes/ disorganized families, living with single parents, living with step parent/ parent's friend etc.
