- Description
- The holidays are over, the decorations are down and the bills are due. Its a reality that can become dangerous for millions of American kids whose parents may take their frustrations, already heightened by a weak economy, out on them. In the last two years, physicians at the Center for Child and Family Advocacy (CCFA) at Nationwide Childrens Hospital say that child abuse and neglect cases at the hospital are up 40 percent. In 2008 alone, they provided more inpatient consultations for suspected abuse and neglect than any year since the hospital has been compiling data. Luckily, a special program here is helping area families deal with the rampant stress that often accompanies this time of year in healthy ways.
