Other Notes:

Survey of 12,447 child respondants | p. 48 – despite Items 584 & 585 and explicitly stating on p. 45 “Gender desegregation of
data indicated that more
boys reported physical
abuse as compared to girls,” the summary section of the report asserts “In the overall percentage there seemed to be not much difference in physical abuse being faced by girls.” i.e. – the report shows heavy bias toward emphasizing the plight of girls and deemphasizing the plight of boys.
