While only Spain, Greece, Italy, Ireland and Norway seem to have an exceptionally low incidence of child maltreatment deaths, levels in some Central European countries, especially Hungary, are four to six times higher. Hungary is listed after the United States, Mexico, and Portugal, as the OECD member with most child maltreatment deaths.
