AN extensive report has found high levels of child abuse in England, with more than 2,400 victims during a 14-month period that was scrutinized.
The Office of Children's Commission interim study released Wednesday also found about 16,500 additional children are at "high risk" of sexual exploitation based on behavioral changes noted.
The report is characterized as the largest ever study of child sex abuse in England, and suggested urgent action.
"This report is a wake-up call," said Maggie Atkinson, Children's Commissioner for England. "Each and every one of us owes it to all victims to be vigilant, to listen and to act to stop the sexual exploitation of children."
