Statistics

Each month at Child Safe we serve approximately 30 children. Most of those children are reporting sexual abuse. We know that the children we see are very special and can not be broken down into a statistical report. Each child is unique and each story is heartbreaking. None the less, an overview of the children we see would show the following demographics from Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012).
