Maryum Ali Child Abuse

Child abuse in America is an ongoing problem and something needs to be done. There are approximately one million children abused annually in the United States. (Table 339) Cases of child abuse and neglect are reported every ten seconds, and researchers believe that there’s three times that amount that goes unnoticed. (Child Abuse: Know the Signs and Stop the Violence Against Children.) Something needs to be done for these children who are too weak and too powerless to help themselves.

Child abuse is epidemic in many countries as well as the United States. It is estimated that every thirteen seconds a child is abused in some manner: physically, sexually, emotionally or by neglect (Friedman). Each year, there are over 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States involving more than 6 million children. Child abuse can be reduced with proper education of the parents and with greater public awareness.

Awareness and recognition of child maltreatment issues has had a positive impact upon many families who have benefited from the interventions being offered.  In the United States, billions of dollars are

It might be difficult to accept but every child can be hurt, put at risk or harm or abused, regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity.

Everyday children under the age of 18 are maltreated. One out of eight children throughout the U.S suffers from either physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Unfortunately, emotional abuse is not even considered a maltreatment when people think of child abuse. When people think of child abuse the first thing they think about is physical or sexual. Now do not get me wrong, any abuse a child receives is a horrible inhuman like thing because every child is innocent and deserves to live the best life they possibly can live. Although, if we are being quite honest with ourselves nobody really notices this happens until it is mentioned later on when the child gets older. Which I do not blame anyone for because a child does not recall if something is good or bad until they have the ability to be aware of their environment.This is due to the fact that child abuse can start occurring at such an early age. This happens most during the development stage of the child because when a child is young it starts to absorb everything it sees and hears based on their surroundings. Basically, when they start noticing the difference from good or bad. The problem in this situation is that there is a high percentage rate of the youth who are diagnosed with mental disorders and are not being helped properly because most of the time the adults around them do not know how to help. The solution to this problem is simple, we should bring awareness to the main people in the child's life: their

Is it right that children who have been abused have to go through it all alone without any support? Do you think abused children should know they are not alone? Should a child have to testify against their perpetrator in court with no one to back them up? No child should have to deal with being abused that’s why Bikers Against Child Abuse exists. Bikers Against Child Abuse is a heroic organization that stands up for what they believe in, gives up their own money and time and inspires people to help stop abuse.

Her path became rocky quickly. At first she wanted to make the students in her school aware of the mission/goals of the Black Lives Matter. She was met with dismissal of this movement by students, as well as, teachers. She was shunned by some she considered her friends. She felt an issue so important to the safety of her fellow students and those in her community would be embraced. It wasn’t, but this did not deter her from continuing to share the voice the movement, even when she stopped being so popular.

Every day children around the world are being abused by their parents, trusted adult, caregiver and peers. Children are constantly suffering when there are things that everyone as a community can do help them. Psychologists, social workers and the victims to childhood abuse have studied and worked together to establish precautionary measures to execute child abuse all together.

Joyce stated the children behaviors have changed due to he abuse from the stepsister. Joyce stated she believes the children are afraid to tell her what happens at their father's house due to getting in trouble. Joyce stated that she does not find out about the abuse from her children until after the abuse had happen and there are no marks.

Child abuse in the United States is a growing epidemic. Every year the number of reported cases, and missing children go up. This is caused mostly by lack of education about the different types of child abuse, and the signs that go along with it. Communities need to provide more resources to better educate the public about the types of abuse, and the signs that go along with it. Child abuse and neglect can be lessened by more resources, more education and to reach out to others.

According to Pecora, Sanders, Wilson, English, Puckett & Rudlang-Perman (2014), “Every year in the USA, about 695,000 unique children are confirmed as victims of child maltreatment (US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Children’s Bureau 2011) (p. 321). Such startling statistics suggest that child abuse is not just a public health issue; it is an epidemic. However, research reveals that prevention is possible through a collaborative effort made by parents, schools, the government, social services, and the

With Michelle Obama’s brilliantness she assisted change in education and inspired young women. Michelle is a world renowned role model and idol to many young girls. Furthermore she used her education and knowledge to help mentor other children around the world. Lastly, she helped not only young children, but also adults change the way we they eat. Michelle Obama started inspiring people before the white house and in the white house and now that she is out of the white house her encouragement is still

Child abuse is a prevalent thing in communities and often time the victims are suffering in silence. We, as a society, have a bad habit of “turning our heads the other way” or “not wanting to get involved.” The mentality of “it’s none of our business” is an extremely dangerous mind set to have. It is time for America to step up and start helping the ones that are not able to fight for themselves. The children of our country.

Providing proper help for child abuse victims it can be considered a very expensive situation to deal with, I thinks raising charities to help victims of child abuse providing them with more health, care, resources and offering them proper academic education are some of the possible solutions that I was able to came out with and I think it will make a difference in the life of the victims of child abuse and neglect. Experts who deal with this kind of social problems should also be able to help victims of child abuse and neglect to pursue a higher education instead of letting them struggle on their own. As I mentioned before some perpetrators get prosecuted for harming poor defenseless children, I believe laws and regulations should be applied hard on them so people watch and learn that abusing a child is not just a mild offense instead they will be facing hard consequences. Therefore, analyzing the link between child abuse and criminal behavior as adults can lead to an extensive amount of outcomes and possible solutions. But finding a possible way how to effectively offer help to these

It breaks my heart to know that child abuse has a history and throughout history children have been subjected to extensive physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect. However, doing most of the history of child abuse was accepted and in some cases it was encouraged. As time progressed child abuse has grown to receive more attention and is being recognized as a severe epidemic that has to be stopped. I believe that the views of child abuse has changed over the years for it has left the home from being a private issue to a public issue where different agencies are involved in order to resolve the child abuse and neglect issue. Agencies that take part in investigating and preventing child abuse in today’s time are the Family and Protective Services, SCAN, and several more agencies that are committed to stopping child abuse and
