Child Abuse in Georgia

Unfortunately, the maltreatment of society’s most vulnerable citizens is a sad reality. Each year in the U.S., over 625,000 children are confirmed to be the victims of child abuse. In Georgia alone, 200 incidents are reported daily. Many of these children have been abused by a trusted loved one or caretaker.

Anything that results in non-accidental physical or emotional injury to a child is child abuse, including:

  • Shaking
  • Hitting or kicking
  • Burning
  • Repeated shouting, yelling, or name calling
  • Behavior intended to belittle or degrade
  • Exhibitionism
  • Incest
  • Forced viewing of sexual acts
  • Rape
