Hardi was one of more than 1,200 Texas children who died from abuse or neglect between 2018 and 2023.
Holy fuck Texas! Wtf are you doing to your kids???
For 2022, TX is indeed the leader in abuse/neglect deaths, but as an absolute number (176), not by population.
No2 is CA so they’re statistically just as dangerous, maybe a little more than TX, but what shocked me was GA! Georgia is in competition with TX and CA despite having a quarter the population. At the same time they’re blowing past states like NY and FL. So the real question is WTF is going on in the Peach State?
My guess is poverty levels have something to do with it. Georgia is 10th on the list @ 14% while Texas is 14th @13.4%.
Wondering if that’s reported or estimated (couldn’t tell from the article), cause if it’s reported then the real number is even higher.
Texas also has a maternal mortality rate is worse than the next two states combined.
You must have the baby, but under no circumstances will care be provided for baby or mother.
