1 in 4 children abused each year
CHICAGO - One in four children ages 10 to 16 is physically or sexually abused each year, often by other children, a national survey of youngsters found.
``Levels of victimization ... far exceed those reported in official government victimization statistics,'' said researchers David Finkelhor and Jennifer Dziuba-Leatherman of the University of New Hampshire.
The types of abuse covered in the survey ranged from getting hit at school to rapes, robberies and assaults.
