ATLANTA - About 1 in 50 U.S. infants are victims of nonfatal child abuse or neglect in a year, according to the first national study of the problem in that age group.
The study focused on children younger than 1 year, and found nearly a third were one week old or younger when the abuse or neglect occurred.
“It is a particularly vulnerable group,” said study co-author Rebecca Leeb, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

People who hurt kids or animals should spend a very long time in jail, or be executed if they kill their kids. I used to work for the sheriff's office and often talked to people in the victim's crime unit. It is pretty sad and disgusting what some people do.
