For all U.S. children, the cumulative prevalence of confirmed maltreatment was 12.5% [95% CI: 12.5%, 12.6%] in 2011 (Figure 1; Table 2). That is, approximately 1 in 8 American children were confirmed for maltreatment between birth and age 18. This is 13.9 times as many children as experience a confirmed maltreatment case annually (12.5/0.9; Table 1).
