Child brides are a little voiced problem that occur around the world. Fourteen million girls become child brides every year, a number that is increasing due to the growing populations of countries where child marriage is common (Fisher). I chose to focus on child brides specifically in Africa and the Middle East due to the high instances of child marriages in those parts of the world. In my research I also found that child brides are very common in South Asia and South America as well. In Niger, Chad, Mali, Bangladesh, Guinea, Central African Republic, Mozambique, and Nepal over half of girls are married before they turn eighteen (Fisher).This is largely due to traditional tribal practices, cultural norms, and an overall lack of education.
A study done by Lawrence Kutner, PH.D. and Cheryl K. Olsen, Sc.D., titled, “Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do,” shows that 51 percent of boys involved in physical fights over the course of 12 months played mature-rated games, compared with the 28 percent who did not. These number are very concerning when we are talking about the effects of violent video games on the adolescent mind. The study also showed that 40 percent of girls involved in physical fights also play mature rated video games in a 12 month period. So it is not only boys who are affected by the mature rated video games. Games like Grand Theft Auto include very aggressive intense violent, strong language and sexual content,
As an investigator in this case, I would have to utilize an institutionalized arrangement of inquiries to guarantee culmination and consistency of data and encourage foundation of a database to track leads. Records of family contact kept up by law-authorization offices, social-administration offices, schools, and different associations ought to likewise be acquired and assessed. Amid the meeting procedure, there should be an awareness of certainties or explanations in strife with those assembled by the person on call. A record should be made of all vehicles stopped inside the area and whatever other conditions that may have future investigative worth. At the point when preparatory investigative strides have been taken, examiners need to make sure that they collaborate with the specialist on call, kindred agents, and other organization faculty to
Child maltreatment is characterized as “all intentional harm to, or avoidable endangerment of, anyone under 18 years of age” (Berger, 2014, pp. 236). Subtypes of child maltreatment includes child abuse (intentional harm inflicted on a child physically, emotionally, or sexually) and child neglect (failure to provide physical, educational or emotional needs) (Berger, 2014). Lower socioeconomic status (SES) and dysfunctional families can increases the risk for child maltreatment (Harpur, Polek, & van Harmelen, 2015). Additional circumstances that can increase the risk for child maltreatment is low maternal education, single-parenthood, non-biological caregivers, and parental substance abuse (Harpur et al, 2015). In 2012, in the United States,
Sometimes I wish I was an only child. I have an irritating brother. Ross is my 18 year old brother. Our birthday’s are 1 day apart and I dislike it. When we were younger we always had our parties together. I hated having them together and his friends. My Grandma is psychotic! After my Grandpa passed away we realized she doesn’t know how to do anything. She doesn't even remember my name. My Grandma always gets Ross’ girlfriend’s name right, but never remembers mine. My family calls me the “Forgotten Child” because of my Grandma and great-aunt, Phi-Phi. I love spending time with friends and family! My friends and I love to travel together. Our recent trip we took was to Chicago. We went for a concert and got stuck standing in the rain for 2

Mary is the perpetrator or the abuser in this scenario. She is outwardly displaying anger and intimidation techniques by standing over James yelling and swearing at him. While not physically touching him, the psychological abuse she is subjecting James to could potentially be just as damaging. Her body language being right up in his face, has potential to escalate very quickly as well as provoking a reaction by James to remove her from his personal space. These factors, combined with her highly agitated, irrational state and ease of access to a weapon create a very dangerous situation for all involved.

The Journal of the American Professional on the Abuse of Children – peer review answers the urgent need for an interdisciplinary forum on child abuse and neglect. Child maltreatment expands its knowledge base through a multidisciplinary while embracing diverse professional and cultural identities (APSAC,2017). Nevertheless, child maltreatment provides a meeting place for professionals and policy makers from many disciplines.
It is frightening to think of the number of ways your information can be stolen online. I am concerned about becoming a victim because I have been a victim three times. The first was a store clerk who copied my credit card number while I was making a purchase in a major department store. He then went on an internet shopping spree and bought computer games and online flowers. Fortunately for me he was stupid enough to have the games shipped to his house and the flowers to his mother. The second was when the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in Washington D.C. was hacked and my and my husband’s military and personal information was hacked from their servers. The last was by a fast food clerk in Korea who again decided to copy my credit card

Since some decade, people give their daughter in forced marriage, when they are generally poor. This being the Dot is a tradition in a marriage will make the fiancée 's family meet its needs.

I have not been through a lot in my seventeen years of existence. My mother endured an extremely rough childhood and she has done everything in her power to make sure that my sister and I have had the best life imaginable. Nonetheless, just because I was immensely sheltered does not mean that I did not undergo the rough patches that life likes to hurdle at everyone. When I was young, I loved to make up my own jokes, songs, and words. Everywhere my family would go, I made into a stage.
Agreements such as this can lift the burden of paying for a girl’s education, thus making it easier for parents to choose to educate their children, instead of marrying them off. In rural areas of underdeveloped countries, the practice of child marriage is on the rise due to the fact that most of the girls being married off are not educated enough to know there are laws in place to protect them. Being oblivious of their rights, children are being married off before they are able to comprehend the harm brought upon them. Having knowledge of laws that protects them from being married before they are ready can assist them in taking steps to prevent the occurrence of early marriage. Educating young girls about their rights is one way of ensuring that one child may be kept safe from having to face the atrocities of marriage with mostly older men. We can accomplish this by setting up organizations that can go to different villages and provide information on how marriage at a young age can have negative effects on the health of young wives. These organizations could even work with the government to provide shelters for girls who are trying to escape the wickedness of early marriage.
