Child abuse fears 'not acted on' : NSPCC

A quarter of a million adults suspected a child was being abused in the past decade but did nothing about it, a children's charity poll indicates.

A survey of 10,000 people carried out for the NSPCC found one in nine adults had suspected a child was being abused.

And 6% said they had suspected abuse but done nothing about it - equivalent to more than 250,000 adults in the UK.

Physical abuse was the most common worry, followed by neglect, emotional abuse, bullying and sexual abuse.

Nearly a third of suspected abuse cases were in the last 12 months.

2. That is very sad.
I suspect the numbers in the states are higher. There are some states that have mandatory reporting laws for everyone. Meaning, if you think or know someone is being abused, it doesn't matter who you are, you are required to report it.
