Impact of Shooting, Kidnapping, and Torture on Children

Children around the world are all too often exposed to violence that is both intentional and harmful. Numerous examples of such violence exist in the United States. School shootings have traumatized many children as victims and as witnesses. The U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) documents 3,200–4,600 nonfamilial abductions each year.
