284 Million
August 22, 2008 by Tyler Hartle
In a report published in 2007, the estimated daily cost of Child Abuse and Neglect in United States was $284 Million Per Day*. This is what the number looks like when you break it down and relate it:
- Costing about $0.90 per person per day in the U.S.
- $11,849,315.08 equals the amount per hour spent on child abuse
- Using the current costs of fuel, putting an end to child abuse would save the U.S. economy more than the equivalent of 70 million gallons of gasoline per day or 25,000,000,000 gallons of gasoline per year
- The National Debt has increased an average of $1.84 billion per day since September 2007
- Child Abuse costs are one-sixth the daily National Debt average
*Note: These numbers are considered by many to actually be higher than reported.
