Minnesota Child Abuse + Child Protection (fall 2021)
These articles about child abuse and child protection have been gathered in Minnesota over the last 60 days.
Reporting on this page is made possible by Mike Tikkanen, KARA staff and college interns and volunteers fromArizona State, Capella, RMIT and MacEwan Universities.
It is only sampling of what should be reported – the great majority of child trauma & abuse is never known.
37% of children overall and 44% of Black children are reported to child protection services in America by the time they turn 18. (American Journal of Public Health 1.17)
6 to 12 million children a year are reported to child protection services and in many states, 1/3 of foster children are required to take psychotropic medicines
