I don’t think they’re making light, and they’re probably right. It would make sense that the states with higher poverty and more rural areas have higher levels of unreported abuse. Who is gonna find out and where are they going to go to tell someone if they don’t have means and live in the sticks

Higher poverty and more rural areas? Like Maine? We have 6 counties under 50k median FAMILY income. Every county except for Cumberland, York, and Sagadahoc are below the US median. Couple that with high cost of living and you get 11.5% of the state living in poverty. It’s time to recognize we have an issue and do what we can to make things better.

The states at the bottom are Washington, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania though…
