One news report on this indicated that 1/4 of girls and (forgive me here, don't remember exactly what they said) 1/3 to 1/2 of boys get a broken bone sometime during childhood. That is the population at-large.
However... they also reported that many of those with broken bones in the compound were very, very young children. In other words... too young for them to happen because they fell out of a tree, etc., and thus implying abuse.
