Karl Loren, in the article National Child Abuse Statistics states various statistics about child abuse and about the various types of child abuse. Karl Loren supports his statements by telling the audience different statistics about child abuse in order to help the reader understand how big of an issue child abuse is. The author's purpose is to point out and to inform the reader that child abuse is a growing issue and need to be dealt with. The author writes in an informative tone for the audience. After reading this article I found this source reliable and very useful. This source is one of my most valuable resources because it is filled with information and statistics and being a .org website it is more reliable than a .com website. It also provides the sources from where the information was gathered which also proved to be reliable sites. The author, Karl Loren, gives a somewhat biased but mainly objective view on the issue of Child Abuse. The goal of this source was to inform the reader about Child Abuse by providing them with various statistics, graphs, and other information with in this issue. These facts will be very useful to prove and support my view on Child Abuse.
