CARACAS, Venezuela, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- In Venezuela, deaths of children and adolescents at the hands of police increased 55 percent from 2013 to 2014.
About 912 minors were killed in Venezuela last year. That's about 76 deaths each month, or two deaths per day, according to Cecodap, a human rights organization in Venezuela.

About 90 percent of the victims are males between the ages of 13 to 17.

Of the total death toll, about 126 were killed by police or military personnel -- about 14 percent of the total and 55 percent higher than 2013's toll of 70, according to a report by El Universal.
