Most of us would not report child abuse cases
Almost 33,000 Australian children suffered some form of abuse last year but more than half the population would turn a blind eye when confronted with the signs.
----
While the majority of those surveyed agreed that child abuse was a serious issue, those who responded that they would not report it said so because they might be wrong (48 per cent), they did not think it was their business (42 per cent), they did not know what to do (38 per cent) or they did not want to admit that abuse happened (22 per cent).
