Of the 670,000 children confirmed as victims of maltreatment in 2011, it was the first confirmed report for 73.4% (492,400) (Table 1). Those children for whom it was a first-time confirmed report were significantly more likely to be Black, Native American, or Hispanic than White or Asian/Pacific Islander. They were also significantly more likely to be female, although sex differences in this population were small (0.7% to 0.6%).
