Youth physical abuse is any intentional act on a child that causes feelings of pain, injury, or other physical suffering. One in six Snohomish County youth reported being physical abused by an adult. Physically abused youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide and are more likely to participate in risky behaviors such as substance abuse.
