Where, those children who are abused by their parents will more than likely abuse their children. (Havelin, 2007) This is especially troubling when you consider the fact that 5

(Drucker, 1997) We see than that the effect on society as a whole is also a concern, with the victims of child abuse more likely to: become violent crime offenders; attempt suicide; abuse drugs and alcohol; run away from home; engage in teenage prostitution; and commit sexual assault crimes
Sexual abuse of pet animals and stuffed toys obviously distinguishes these victims of abuse from their peers who have not experienced any such incidents. (Ann Black; DeBlassie, 1993) How child abuse is different in other countries, among different ethnics Child abuse is an occurrence that has cultural roots
There are nations that exhibit variations in the amount and extent of the stratum of the child abuse iceberg, which are identified and made public. (Creighton, 2004) As per Kempe, six phases are present to know the complete degree of child abuse in a nation, and tackling with the issue

(Fagan, 1997) The occurrence of child abuse and abandonment puts a considerable effect also on people with other scanty chances of getting involved in formally documented criminal conducts
If at all you have been an eyewitness to aggression inflicted to children, otherwise there is not any surefire procedure to establish that a wound is the result of an abuse; children suffer injury all the while during playing. (Lambert, 2002) An established ground rule is that the possibility of any type of "suspected" injury would not occur repeatedly
Runyan went on to say that only since physicians and others in different nations have not paid much heed to the issue, it does not construe that abuse is not all pervading. (Williamson, 2002) Regardless of all the disparities in cultures and the conventions concerned with the manner of our upbringing of our children, the figures of abuse throughout the globe show extreme patterns in some manners," stated by Runyan
Curriculum planners and educators need to be sure to provide "…compulsory pre-service training" for student teachers as regards identifying signs of abuse in their classroom (physical and psychological abuse). Child care professionals should understand that when a child is interviewed by authorities (psychologists, police, attorneys or others) as to alleged sexual abuse that was visited on her (or him), the interview itself can become a "…psychological burden" (Cheung, et al
How does this topic impact the child care field? Professionals in social work or otherwise those employed in the child care field should be thoroughly up-to-date with all the research relative to child abuse. Moreover, dermatologists and other clinicians should be "alert about the skin lesions" that can result from child abuse, according to an article in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology (Ermertcan, et al
5% urged their kids to "fight back" (Hunt, 67). A fourth article is located in the peer-reviewed Child Abuse Review (Goddard, et al
This topic certainly should affect those student teachers going through the teaching program in Australia, but a study in the journal Educational Review reflects that very little training is given to those would-be teachers when it comes to reporting suspected abuse of children in the classroom. The sources of knowledge available to student teachers in training, were "…incidental, sparse and sporadic" (Goldman, et al
The 113 participants were given several questionnaires to determine if they had been sexually or otherwise physically abused -- or neglected -- as children. The point was: empirical data reflects the fact that "previous experience and intensity of negative life events" is linked with a "reduced capacity to copy with interrogative pressure" later in life (Gudjonsson, et al
9% of parents talked to their children about CSA prevention; 6.8% of parents had received CSAPE in school; 95% had discussed "stranger danger"; fewer than half of the parents had discussed "private parts, touching resisting, and telling a trusted adult" (Hunt, et al
For example, a study in Malaysia, while not very surprising, points to the many negatives that result from a child being abused. Young victims of physical abuse, according to professor Samah of the Universiti Putra Malaysia, "…routinely experience emotional disturbance" including: "feelings of isolation, shame, fear, anxiety and even suicide ideation" (Samah, 2011, p
Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) reports that in the year 2010 there were approximately 3.3 million referrals of "suspected abuse pertaining to six million children" in the United States (Samuels, 2011)
Child Abuse "Although it is extremely important when interviewing children about alleged abuse to determine whether the abuse was single or repeated… we have little information about how children judge the frequency of events… [and] overall children were very accurate at judging the frequency of a single event, but much less so for repeated events." (Sharman, et al
Planning for parenthood and equipping older students with proper sex education helps keeps kids informed and aware of their sexual behavior and its potential impact on future children. Many high schools around the country "have curricula on learning how to parent adequately" (Crosson-Tower 2003)
The resiliency model was created to provide a more effective strategy compared to the deficit weakness model. It features six environmental protective factors -- conditions that help kids bounce back from adversity focusing on protective factors "that help an individual bounce back from adversity" (Henderson 2012)
Child Abuse Foster Care Alternatives/Intervention Value of Foster Care Foster care is a program that is in place to help children who can no longer live with their birth parents due to abuse or neglect.
