From Wikipedia:
Younger children are most likely to be murdered by a relative. According to Friedman et al.,[1] of murdered American children younger than five
years old, 61% were murdered by their parents (30% murdered by mothers, and 31% by fathers); homicide was the fourth leading cause of death amongst
American preschool-aged children, and the third leading cause of death amongst American children five to fourteen years old.
The sheer volume of missing & murdered children week after week makes this an epidemic that we can't ignore. Naturally many of us are heartsick at
the most recent kidnapping and murder of Shaniya Davis. But Davis is one of the few to gather national attention. Every 10 minutes a child is abducted
by a stranger! 74 percent of abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction. 800,000 children are reported missing
each year More than 58,000 children are abducted by non-family members every year. These are the facts...
A 2000 report by World Health Organization (WHO) claimed every 60 seconds somewhere in the world a child is murdered and For every person who died,
20-40 others were hospitalized with critical injuries.
the numbers are staggering and grow every larger every year...
Sadly little is done offenders are often released or never brought to trial...
Just a few examples
I should know as I work the national
Parents of Murdered Children Org.
This was the last photo of
My Son Before he took a 12 gage shot gun blast to his little
chest....
Yes this is a real problem and every parents nightmare! they are killing our future!
Forget H1N1 The New National Epidemic-Child Abduction & MURDER....
Sorry if this sounds like a rant but little Shaniya Davis was just to young to know what fate had befallen her... I'm rather touchy on the subject as
you might well guess
