Every 10 seconds a child is abused or raped. 3.3 million child abuse reports in 2010. For every report 2 more go unreported = many millions abused annually. 61,000 reports to Child Protective services per week = 6 per minute.

Some 36,600 offences were reported last year, mainly involving neglect, physical violence or bullying. And the number of cases has risen by a third in the last 12 months, according to NHS Information Centre statistics.
