Considering how soft CPS and the like are on single moms and even defining abuse when it comes from a Mother, that number is probably a fraction of what it should be. These are probably just the extreme cases where the kid gets starved and beaten raw by a crackhead.
Same with ones like "group home" where the horror stories that come out of those systems is infinite, and its almost certainly a case of investigating yourself and finding yourself innocent.
Also, considering the fraction of a fraction of families that qualify as "three parent" that 764 number is absurdly large.
As a foster parent I have seen the end result of that. She is also demanding all the money she can get from he government to do it. So when we get the child finally the schools have him in the very slow class, and he barely knows how to function. It takes work to teach the kid to be independent. Then we look up the mom on facebook and she has the feeling she is some kind of martyr for her child.
