Age and Sex of Fatalities, 2004
This table compares the age and gender of children who died from maltreatment. The first column lists the single-year ages ranging from birth to 3 years. Then the ages are grouped together: 4-7, 8-11, and 12-17. Next the population, number of victims, and rate of fatalities per 100,000 children are presented for boys and for girls. Then the boys and girls are added together for total fatality victims. A total of 993 children died as a result of abuse or neglect, as reported by States in the Child File only.
