Child Abusers Dodging Prison
"The story analyzed 15 years of data on child abuse cases in the local courts to find out how often abusers go to prison. About two out of every three defendants eluded prison, and in the most egregious cases, when children suffered serious injuries, about one out of five abusers dodged time behind bars."
