Four children die in the United States each day as a result of child abuse and neglect.

Over 80% of these children are under the age of four.

At Safe Horizon, we believe that every child is entitled to a life free from violence and full of possibilities.

For children who have been abused, perhaps nothing is more important than a swift, comprehensive and expert response - a response that ensures safety, addresses physical injuries and emotional trauma, and one that brings justice.
