The majority of beneficiary families do not abuse their children.<br /><br />But the likelihood that an abused child will come from a beneficiary family is much higher so that is useful information for setting policy or identifying risk.<br /><br />Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-25822701438238750072013-08-01T21:13:03.328+12:002013-08-01T21:13:03.328+12:00It is of course really, really important to get th...It is of course really, really important to get the direction of the statistics right.<br /><br />87% of abused children were from the beneficiary population IT IS NOT that 87% of the beneficiary population do abuse their children.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-17484323661417172172013-08-01T12:58:43.189+12:002013-08-01T12:58:43.189+12:00I have one major problem with this chart.
