Age and Sex of Child Fatalities, 2006
This table compares the age and gender of children who died from maltreatment for only those States that reported fatalities in the Child File. 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 are presented for boys and for girls. Then the boys and girls are added together for total fatality victims. A total of 1,129 children died as a result of abuse or neglect, as reported by States in the Child File only.
