PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A new report finds an increase in children who are victims of abuse and neglect in Providence.

In 2010, 867 children in the city were abuse and neglect victims, a rate of about 19 per 1,000 children. That's according to data presented Friday by the nonprofit Rhode Island KIDS COUNT.

The organization reported 640 child abuse victims -- a rate of about 14 per 1,000 children -- in the previous year The statewide rate for Rhode Island is 13.3 children per 1,000.

The group's executive director, Elizabeth Burke Bryant, says difficult economic times tend to lead to increases in neglect as families feel more pressure meeting basic needs.

This country is bankrupt. The future has been borrowed and squandered.

It is time to stop attacking and destroying American families and throwing away million$ on Social Security Block Grants, Title IV, and Medicare to kidnap and hold the kids hostage to dope out of their heads until they age out with no education and no life skills.

The CPS nightmare has been run into the ground.
