New Federal Child Maltreatment Report Shows Progress—But Our Work Isn’t Finished

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has released the 2023 Child Maltreatment Report, showing a continued decline in child abuse and neglect cases. In FY 2023, 546,159 children were identified as victims—a decrease that reflects the progress of prevention efforts across federal, state, and local levels. Tragically, 2,000 children lost their lives due to maltreatment, a slight improvement from the previous year but still an unacceptable number.

This progress is promising, but it highlights the critical need for continued investment in proactive, community-based solutions that support families and prevent harm before it happens. At Prevent Child Abuse America, we are committed to advancing evidence-based policies and programs that create the conditions for all children and their families to thrive.

Our North Star: A future where all children and their families are living a healthy, purposeful life with hope for the future.

Together, we can make this future a reality.

Lauren’s journey with PCA America began during her time at Marquette University, where she joined the Kappa Delta sorority—long time partners of PCA America. Through KD fundraising events like their signature Shamrock Shuffle and the 5k Glow Run, she was inspired to stay involved.

She learned about joining PCA America’s Associate Board through the Kappa Delta City of Chicago Alumnae Chapter. Since joining, Lauren has connected her workplace, Stack Adapt, to host an employee holiday giving campaign and raise awareness of PCA America’s mission.

Lauren’s dedication is deeply personal—prevention work is close to her heart because the men in her life have been affected by abuse. She uses her voice to inspire others, including reconnecting with a childhood friend who was drawn to her posts about the organization.

Thank you, Lauren, for your passion and commitment to PCA America’s mission!

What an incredible day with PCA America's Associate Board last Saturday! The day started at Benchmark Chicago for lunch and finished at Zanies Comedy Club Chicago for the Associate Board's first “Stand-Up for Kids” comedy event, and it was a smashing success. Six comedians Jeff Brumfield, Joe Eames, Deanna Ortiz, Eunji Kim, Sohrab Forouzesh, Matty Ryan, and Christi Turner – including one parent – delivered nonstop laughs, covering everything from family life and relationships to current events to the humor in everyday moments.

Our host, Christi Turner, kept the energy high with her hilarious set and seamless hosting. The packed audience laughed from start to finish, creating a night filled with joy, connection, and purpose – all in support of our mission to prevent child abuse and neglect before it starts.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We can’t wait for the next “Stand-Up for Kids” comedy event – stay tuned!
