Agree with you on this. I’d add the caveat that trauma can (and often does) go far beyond overt child abuse. I like to think about trauma as an adverse response to something negative that happens in a person’s life that impacts their internal schema and their perception of their lived reality negatively. I.e, trauma isn’t what happens to us, but our neurobiological response to such events. Hope this makes sense. But to your point - child abuse is a silent epidemic in the US that must be adequately addressed for the betterment of society.

I agree with you. Just stating that the highest percentage of what you're dealing with will be parental abuse. But the "beyond" part you're talking about is a society that claims to care about it's children, but the children get no sympathy. It's insane.
It's also why Freud is considered one of the greatest betrayals in the history of psychology.
And how do you heal the trauma?
I don’t think it’s a one size fits all model. At the core, the prevalence of healthy attachments that allows a person has the ability to explore the deepest depths of their subconscious & nervous system regulation techniques are two strong places to start.
