As many as 400,000 abused in state, faith care - survivors group Andrew Mcrae © RNZ / Aaron Smale A group representing some survivors of abuse claims the estimated number of people abused while in care is well off the mark. An interim report from the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care has been released this afternoon. It says of the 655,000 young people in care between 1950 and 2019 nearly 40 percent were abused, about a quarter of a million young people. The Royal Commission said the true figure of historical abuse in care would never be known because of large gaps and deficiencies in the data collected at the time - and the 250,000 figure may be conservative.
