Nah, you're right. Child abuse overwhelmingly comes from the parents themselves or a close friend or family member. The restrictions and surveillance of American children has grown at a terrifying rate, while the country has generally become much safer.

Kids are also increasingly victimized by the hypermilitarized police state - Minor disciplinary problems at school could land a kid in prison. Most schools have an armed cop in them. Something as minor as a fight with another student can result in jail time for both students. Kids walking around outside are also subject to surveillance both from the community and the police. And it's all much, much worse for minority kids and poor kids.
