Subject: teen parents and child abuse statistics


I am working on the Massachusetts Healthy Families Evaluation and we are
looking for comparison data on child abuse and neglect and teen parents.
Specifically, we are interested in answering the question: "What proportion
of teenage parents are perpetrators of child abuse and neglect?"

Does anyone have data on this topic or suggestions of where to find this
data?

Thank you.
