CHILD ABUSE AND VICTIMIZATION

In 2003, an estimated 906,000 children were determined to be victims of child abuse or neglect.

During 2003, 60.9 percent of victims experienced neglect,
18.9 percent were physically abused, 9.9 percent were sexually abused, 4.9 percent were emotionally or psychologically maltreated, and 2.3 percent were medically neglected. An additional 16.9 percent of victims experienced such “other” types of maltreatment as “abandonment,” “threats of harm to the child,” and “congenital drug addiction.”
An estimated 1,500 children died as a result of abuse or neglect in 2003. More than threequarters (78.7 percent) of children who were killed were younger than four years of age.

In 2003, 51.7 percent of victimized children were girls and
48.3 percent were boys. The racial breakdown of child victims was 53.6 percent white; 25.5 percent African American; 11.5 percent Hispanic; 1.7 percent American Indian or Alaskan Natives; 0.6 percent Asian; and 0.2 percent Pacific Islanders.

The direct cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States totals more than $24 billion annually. (This figure includes law enforcement, judicial system, child welfare, and mental and physical health costs.) When factoring in indirect costs (special education, mental health and health care, juvenile delinquency, lost productivity, and adult criminality), the figure rises to more than $94 billion annually.




CRIME AND VICTIMIZATION


There were an estimated 501,820 robberies, 1,030,080 aggravated assaults and 3,440,880 simple assaults in 2004. (Ibid.)
There were an estimated 209,880 rapes, attempted rapes and sexual assaults to people age 12 and older in 2004, an increase from 198,850 in 2003.

African Americans experienced more overall violence and simple assault in 2004 than whites or persons of other races. (Ibid.)
During 2004, 22 percent of all violent crime incidents were committed by an armed offender, and six percent by an offender with a firearm. (Ibid.)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that there were 16,503 criminal homicides in 2003. The number of murders increased by 1.7 percent in 2003, increasing in cities with 100,000 to 249,999 inhabitants by 6.8 percent and increasing in towns under 10,000 by 20 percent.

Law enforcement made an estimated 597,026 arrests for violent crime in the United States in 2003. Whites accounted for 60.5 percent of violent crime arrestees and African Americans accounted for 37.2 percent.



CYBERCRIME VICTIMIZATION



Lawenforcement agencies nationally made an estimated
1,713 arrests for Internet related crimes involving the
possession of child pornography during the 12 months
beginning July 1, 2000.

Almost all arrested child pornography possessors were male; 91 percent were white; and 86 percent were older than 25.

Most arrested child pornography possessors (83 percent) had images of prepubescent children, and 80 percent had images graphically depicting sexual penetration. (Ibid.)

Approximately one in five arrested child pornography possessors (21 percent) had images depicting sexual violence to children such as bondage, rape and torture. (Ibid.)

Forty percent of arrested child pornography possessors were “dual offenders,” who sexually victimized children and possessed child pornography, with both crimes discovered in the same investigation. An additional 15 percent were dual offenders who attempted to sexually victimize children by soliciting undercover investigators who posed online as minors. (

A survey of the cyberstalked victims reporting to WHOA in 2004 reveals that 78 percent were Caucasian; 69 percent were women; and 48 percent were between the ages of 18 and 30 years old. (Ibid.)
In 2004, 52.5 percent of the cyberstalkers reported to WHOA were male, 23.5 percent were female, and in 24 percent of the cases, the gender of the harasser was unknown. (Ibid.)
In 2004, 40.5 percent of the cyberstalking victims received threats of offline harassment.

I hear you man but respectfully disagree.Its like white crime goes on behind closed doors unless its really fucked up.Turn on cops.Its almost always black people.I believe the media has distorted the face of crime into a black one.With white people making up the majority of the country and obviously the majority of the crime,why are the prisons 50% black :confused:
 
you are misrepresenting the numbers. understand percentages.

first: white people make up about 60-65% of the US, which puts them at about 200 million.

black folk are at about 40 million.

so when white folk represent 60% of any sample, then they are accurately representing for their population, or 1 TO 1.

so in order for black people to get a 1 TO 1 ratio, they need to get about 13 percent of any one of these categories, or 40 million/300 million.

Lets look at the numbers for black people:

Child Abuse: 25.5% or a ratio of 2 TO 1.
Violent Crime: 37.7% or a ratio of 3 TO 1. (almost three to 1 anyway - i'm rounding up - where 13*3=39).
Child Pornography: negligible.
Cyberstalking: not mentioned.

Re; whether white people "shit don't stink". Why the fuck do you care what white people do. we got our own problems, as these statistics show.

To dumb it down for you further. A black kids is TWO TIMES as likely to be abused than a white kid (or to get caught doing it anyway).

a black person is 3 TIMES more likely to commited a violent crime than a white person (or to get caught anyway)

We are still OVERREPRESENTED in these statistics. So this is slanted posting that doesn't help anyone, definitely not black folk. What was your objective?

Black folk have problems - and smart concerned black folk don't give a fuck what white folk do as these are internal problems in the black community.

Why the fuck do you care about the money that's being spent on white people?

why do you care about what white people project about blacks? Get on your grind and project a different image.

why do you continue to filter the black experience, one way or another, by what whites do?

why do you not see that it is lame and counterproductive to do so? why do you not realize that the same energy you used to research and post could have been spent being a big brother to one of them abused black kids?

Why?

to put those statistics another way, it means we're twice as bad parents as white folk, percentage wise. we're three times worse at policing our own communities and raising productive members of society. who gives a fuck what whites are doing if we're still doing it worse?

The funny thing though is that we get on each other as if we are not improving. We tend to believe what we see in the media and form our own self-destructing image from something that is projected unto us.

Child abuse vs child molestation, it's all subjective but at times we need to understand that blacks don't have a corner on everything that is fucked up.

We have things to work on just like any other group. The goal of this post was to show that we all have shit to work on and blacks don't hold a monopoly on being fucked up, especailly those who have been trained to berate ONLY blacks as if whites shit don't stink.

I understand, but I don't think I've ever seen a "white people are dope" post on BGOL.

That's my point.

I was just in Zimbabwe, and there is a Chinatown in Harare. You understand me right - there is a Chinatown in Harare, Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans are struggling in Harare, but the Chinese are doing just fine. Why do you think that is?

They could care less about what happening to the black folk around them; they aren't supposed to. They came to Zimbabwe to get money and there is a lot to get and they are getting it.

Focus and discipline. It doesn't matter what white people are doing. If we're on our job, we're gonna win.

You win homey. clearly I was wrong and you, in all things, are right.

keep that focus on what whitey's doing and thinking.
 
unfortunatly, i have to, and have no other choice.

ignoring whitey only helps to promote his agenda.

regardless of how well educated, how responsible, how diligent, and how hard working we as a people (or individuals) are, we're still fodder for 50 to 100 plus rounds being fired at us for no fucking reason, whether we're out on the town or in the comfort of our own homes.
 
4ce of n8ur said:

$ce I understand what you are saying but at the same time we are all interconnected whether we want to or not.

This interconnectivity causes us to HAVE to relate to one another as what we do affect everyone else.

When whites control our image via TV etc... no matter how hard we may try, it causes a cascading effect; from the white female teacher in elementary school losing patience with black boys and sending them to SLD classes to cop thinking all black men are voilent felons.

We cannot escape that interconnectedness.

The media makes the viewer think that the problems in the black community stem from something genetic.

I didn't grow up in this country. I havae seen black lawyers, doctors, politicians, presidents etc....

Black youth in this country don't have that benefit. They are bombarded with images of sports and enertainment as the only route to success.
While those amongst us trive for more visibility on the grassroot level, there is something called mass media that is counteracting our efforts on a large scale.

I agree, we need to be about our business but that is still on the micro-level.

We still need to address the macro-issues while at the same time understanding that ALL groups have their problems.

That is what some black people don't get (not you obviously), thinking that whites are the standard of pefection.
This can be seen when persons here start threads like:
He is setting the race back.... blah blah blah
Why do black women ..... blah blah blah
Why do black men .... blah blah blah

and they do this not to brainstorm solutions but to further create division and strife and to help reinforce whites projection that black folk are fucked up......

You know that the masses of the people are followers and not leaders but how do you lead a group of people if they believe their situation is because of their genetics i.e. skin color????

Thanks for another good post Kayanation, and I also want to give props to 4ce of n8ur for putting these percentages in their proper perspective. With that said, can you brothas please tell me the racial percentage rate for catagories "Child Abuse" and "Child Molestion"?

I can cleary see that whites lead the Child Porn area, but this appears to be a separate catagory altogether from abuse and/molestation. Thanks!
 
I don't know about the statistics on white america and child molestation, but the majority of child porn comes from Scandanavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway). These countries are almost all Caucasian.

Crime is prevalent in larger cities, and who occupies larger cities? African-Americans. Now if a murder occurs in Detroit or New Orleans, you are going to hear about it. If a murder occurs in all-white Shepardsville, TX, you are a lot less likely to hear about it.

When a black person is accused of a crime, white American automatically assumes he is guilty. O.J., Susan Smith blaming a black man, Charles Stuart blaming a black man. Black = guilty. When juries were all white, black people were always convicted.

As long as racism is prevalent in our society we will always be faced with problems. Don't always trust statistics, they can be falsified just like everything else.

Now this is interesting. What sort of businesses did the Chinese have going there? Big manufacturing type stuff of just little shops?
 
This is an excellent thread. It should have many more replies than it does. If we do not keep an open dialogue about our plight as a people, we will keep bumping heads on what's holding us back while the white man continues to get the best healthcare, best salaries, best investments and best quality of life. We were the standard but that part of HIStory got erased so we are where we are. Learn the TRUTH, draw passion from it and affect one person, positively at at a time starting with self.
 
This needs to stay bumped. I just got into a little aurgument over at a political board. The guy claims black people are on the exact same level as whites in society but like to "whine" to take advantage of whites.

I had to use these stats to sort out some things. I'll let you know how it turns out

Looks like this thread is going to get the bump it deserves. (Excellent Dscussion BTW)

Kayanation, who is to make the distinction that when someone asks the questions "Why do black women ..... blah blah blah? or Why do black men .... blah blah blah?" that they are pitting us against Whites as the standard of perfection?

Say for instance I was to say that the High School dropout rate for Black Males in America is over 50% and in some areas such as Baltimore as high as 70%. (BTW, this statistic is accurate) Now I wouldn't give a good gat dayum if EVERY White person was either dropping out or graduating, my concern would be with these young BLACK males. Mind you the issue might be posted on BGOL as "Why the fuck can't we keep our azzes in school" or "Nucca's dropping outta school in record numbers" and some post would be discussive of the issue. Some post would be "fuck it they ain't teaching us shit any fuckin way." some post would be "CraKKKas is dropping out too. So STFU!! HATER!"

You see my point. We need to get away from the bullshit and get down to discussing the issues and taking away from the discussions something meaningful that we can enact in our homes, families and communities.

I have seen this thrown around so many times when in fact the [Black] person may very well be asking [Black] people about our [Black] issues and although they have never mentioned White folks, their question is now White Washed and pitted against Whites and castigated as such as opposed to being addressed and discussed.

I think many times we want to address our [Black] issues based on our [Black]perceptions from our [Black] perspective WITHOUT any reference to WHITEY...but for some reason that task seems impossible.

And if the perceptions are jaded due to socio or economic differences then we need to address that as well. But to automatically label every "Why do Black..." question as pitting us against (far from) perfect Whites is a disservice to ourselves.

Peace.

Miss USA says she dabbled in cocaine



capt.nyet10101312139.people_tara_conner_nyet101.jpg



Miss USA Tara Conner, who nearly lost her crown for hard-partying in New York nightclubs, says in the upcoming issue of People magazine that her recent stint in rehab was a wake-up call.

"I didn't think I had an issue — but I was willing to do anything to save my job. ... I've realized that I suffer from the disease of alcoholism and addiction," says Conner, who logged in 31 days at the Caron Foundation rehab center in Wernersville, Pa.

"I was an equality-opportunity (user) — I would try anything once," Conner, 21, tells the magazine in its Feb. 12 issue.

At a much-publicized press conference in December, Donald Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant, said the contrite Conner could hold onto her crown if she changed her ways. She then entered rehab.

In her interview in People magazine, her first since leaving treatment, Conner admits that she's dabbled in cocaine.

"Cocaine was one of the drugs that I did use," she says. "It's hard to look back at that."

Alcohol, though, was her biggest vice.

"I'm an alcoholic. It was a craving thing — once I put it in my body, I would start craving more," says Conner, who notes she drank heavily but wasn't "getting sloppy drunk and dancing on tables."

As for reports that her wild ways also included promiscuity, she says, "I would talk to more than one guy at once — it doesn't mean that I was sexually active with every one of these people."

The Kentucky native, who has a family history of alcoholism, says her problems "didn't develop overnight." And, she adds, "It wasn't New York City's fault."

Her mother, Brenda Johnson, tells the magazine that Conner once showed up to school drunk when she was 14 — the same year she won her first beauty pageant and her parents divorced.

Conner, who now lives with a chaperone, says she spends time reading instead of running around town. "I thought I needed to be around people, that I needed that acceptance," she says.

She's itching to return to her Miss USA duties.

"I just can't wait to get back to work — `I'm Miss U.S.A., my name is Tara Conner, and I'm happy to meet you,' you know? Life is good."

Man arrested in dismemberment slaying




bilde



Day after day, Stephen Grant insisted he was an emotionally wracked and wounded husband protecting his two young children.

But police say he was hiding his wife's dismembered body inside the attached garage of their Washington Township home as the youngsters wondered what happened to Mom.


During multiple teary-eyed media interviews in recent weeks, Grant insisted he had no idea what happened to his 34-year-old wife, Tara Lynn Grant, an executive who vanished on the night of Feb. 9. "The search today for a missing person has ended with a very tragic result," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said Saturday.

Named in a murder warrant, Stephen Grant was being sought early today in Emmet County in northwestern lower Michigan, more than a day after he disappeared during the search of the Grants' home Friday that uncovered the torso of a woman believed to be that of his wife.

Late Saturday, the yellow Dodge Dakota Grant borrowed from an acquaintance was found about 10 miles southwest of the Mackinac Bridge. By 1:15 a.m., Emmet County Sheriff Peter Wallin said they were still searching for him in Wilderness State Park west of Mackinaw City and an area just outside the park where the truck was found. He said several cabins had been searched.

Wallin said early Sunday morning that the county’s emergency response team was getting help from the Michigan State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard, which provided a helicopter to help in the search.

The search will continue “until we find him,” Wallin said. “We’re not leaving any stone unturned.”

He said that the area is very rural. According to the Department of Natural Resource’s Web page, Wilderness State Park is 10,000-acres, with some dense wooded areas.

Wallin said that residents in the area were encouraged to keep their doors locked and report unusual activity or sightings of Grant to the Emmet County Sheriff’s Office.

Despite earlier claims Saturday from Grant's lawyer that his client might take his own life, Hackel said investigators believed Grant to be alive.

Hackel gave few details of what his deputies found at the Grant home but said the torso was "not in plain view." He added that searchers found two guns as well as "several items that could have been used in the commission of a crime."

Detectives, he said, don't know if Tara Lynn Grant was killed in her home.

Macomb County Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz said investigators turned over a thin, female torso that had been dismembered with "some type of sharp instrument."

"There doesn't appear to be any overt injuries besides dismemberment," Spitz said. DNA testing and other procedures will be done.

More body parts were found Saturday at least 2 miles from the home in a wooded area in Stony Creek Metropark, where a search a week ago turned up nothing. It appeared attempts had been made to hide the body parts, Hackel said, not identifying what was found.

Stephen Grant, 37, was charged Saturday with open murder and dismemberment of a corpse. He has not been seen since Friday night soon after unlocking his house for deputies to execute their search warrant. Hackel has said there was no legal basis to detain him until after the torso was found and thought because he was in contact with his lawyer and relatives, there was no need to tail him.

Hackel said investigators didn't expect to find anything startling -- Grant had let them into the house before. On Saturday, the house remained under police guard. A garage window was covered with a tarp and plywood.





Be careful, be on the look out for these types.........:smh:
