Child Abuse And Neglect At Madison County

The victimization rate is 12.0 per 1,000 children (Children’s Bureau 2013).

This is a decrease of 0.8% from 2012, in which there were 92,593 children reported. Missouri’s numbers were increasing from 2010-2012, but hopefully this decrease will continue. While this is still a relatively high number, the goal is for that number to decrease. Unfortunately it is an inevitable for child abuse to disappear completely, but even a small decrease is a positive effect.

Children in the foster care system are being constantly abused, how is the government in fault for everything?  Various times tragic and violent things happen like children starving or kids being verbally threatened and the government is blamed with no proof making it invalid, in this case there is proof about how they are in fault, as Kubitschek in her 2005 article “ Holding Foster Care Agencies Responsible for Abuse and Neglect” illustrates how the government “removes children from their parents who are claimed abusive and the government places them in a safer environment, most cases this doesn’t happen”.

With child abuse and neglect being so prevalent globally, it is important to recognize why these types of maltreatment occur and is a relevant topic for all to explore. Many are interested in how child abuse and neglect affect the individuals who are victims as well as the use and efficacy of treatment procedures. Child abuse has serious physical and psycho-social consequences which adversely affect the health and overall well-being of a child. There are long-term consequences of experiencing these forms of maltreatment. Awareness and understanding needs to be brought to this devastatingly common crisis and the advancement of child abuse and neglect prevention needs to be encouraged.

The issue of child abuse and neglect is serious, controversial, and is escalating in today’s society. Many people are not aware, but child abuse is rampant in our society. Many child abuse and neglect cases go unreported because a person may not know the signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect or perhaps the person or person may feel that this is an private issue and needs to be handle with in the home and no outsiders should be involved. Without the proper awareness of child abuse and neglect and the involvement of everyone this issue will continue to raise our eyebrows.
