Definition
The number is a count of children ages birth to 8 who were confirmed victims of abuse or neglect. Children may be counted twice if there was evidence of two separate cases of abuse found. The rate is per 1,000 children ages birth to 8. Rates are suppressed with an "S" for counts fewer than 6 to maintain reliability.
