CHILD ABUSE...

Its hard to beleive but the sad news is that it is very true.
Every year more than 10 million reports of child abuse are made in the world. It’s a terrible epidemic.
We need to first of all increase awareness of the issue itself.

< What is child abuse?

Child abuse is when a parent, a guidian or a caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. I will talk about some forms of child abuse, which includes: physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglet, exploitation and emotional abuse.

< Physical Abuse

When a parent, a guidian or caregiver causes any non-accidental physical injury to a child.

< Sexual Abuse

For me, this is the highest of it all. Because, it affects the total being of the abused child. Sexual abuse occurs when an adult uses a child for sexual purposes or involves a child in sexual acts. It also includes when a child who is older or more powerful uses another child for sexual gratification or experiments.

< Emotional Abuse

When a parent, a guidian or a caregiver harms a child’s mental and social development, or causes severe emotional harm, it is considered emotional abuse. While a single incident may be abuse, most often emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior that causes damage over time. These casses are not far fetched. We withness them daily around us.

< Child Neglect

Child neglect is when a parent, a guidian or a caregiver does not give the care, supervision, affection and support needed for a child’s health, safety and well-being. The following are other forms of child neglect:

Physical neglect and inadequate supervision
Emotional neglect
Medical neglect
Educational neglect

WHAT DO WE DO...

1: We need to pledge never to take a part in child molesting.
2: we have to intervain when ever we notice any trace of child molesting around us.
3: we need to go extra mile at helping a molested child because, ignoring to do so, will cause more damages to the child.
Thanks.
