United Nations, United States—Nearly 400 million children under the age of five—roughly 60 percent in that age group globally—experience violent physical or psychological discipline at home, from spanking to insults, the United Nations Children’s Fund said late Monday.
Of those nearly 400 million children, about 330 million of them experience physical punishment, the UN agency said. “When children are subjected to physical or verbal abuse at home, or when they are deprived of social and emotional care from their loved ones, it can undermine their sense of self-worth and development,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said in a statement.
According to data from 85 countries, one out of every two children at age four cannot play with the person who takes care of them at home, and about one in eight children under the age of five does not have any toys at all.
