Child Abuse Rates have NOT changed throughout the years! There are just as many incidents of abuse as in historical past. However, we now have MORE reporting of suspected and factual abuse incidents due to education and mandatory reporting laws.

Child Abuse really has NOT changed over the years. The ways children are abused have been used since child abuse began (with the first children on earth). Words and emotions and neglect always created emotional-psychological abuses and neglect. Hands and genitals were always used to commit physical and sexual abuse. The instruments of physical abuse may have changed over time, as examples:

  • the "rod"
  • the tree branch / "switch"
  • the horse whip
  • the wood paddle
  • wooden kitchen spoons
  • etc. etc. etc.

But, all in all, child abuse has NOT changed much over the years, except NOW we are more educated and aware that abuse does go on.

No. Child abuse has always existed but laws did not exist to make it illegal, and therefore trackable.
