It's 5% of the children in houses they search, not 5% of children. And they're searching the houses specifically because there has been an allegation of abuse or neglect.

Allegations of abuse or neglect are common tactics during custody battle in divorce. I guess that's why only 5% turn out to be true.

Mandatory reporting also inflates the numbers. Teachers have to report anything they hear, even if it's kids exaggerating obvious nonsense.
