Please
note...All of the children on these pages were or
allegedly
were
murdered
by a parent, guardian or caretaker
I
am sure that these angels had family and
friends
who were devastated over their death.
I
wish to offer my deepest sympathy to each and
every
one of them.

Child fatalities are the most tragic consequence of maltreatment
Approximately 1,200 children died of abuse or neglect in the year 2000
A rate of 1.71 children per 100,000 children in the population.
The increase in the rate of fatalities compared to earlier
years is hypothesized to be largely attributable to improved reporting.
Youngest children were the most vulnerable.
Children younger than one year old accounted for 44 percent
of child fatalities and 85 percent of child fatalities
were younger than 6 years of age.
