A report from Prevent Child Abuse America

A report from Prevent Child Abuse America shows that among confirmed cases of child abuse, 40% of these involved the use of alcohol or other drugs. Heartbreaking stories of neglect and abuse by substance abusing caretakers can be found in every state in the Union. An estimated 480,000 children are abused by a drug or alcohol using caretaker each year. This makes substance abuse and child abuse inseparably linked.
