"Child
abuse and neglect causes trauma, which can impair brain development
and is linked to physical, emotional, and behavioral issues later in
life. Understanding the symptoms and risk factors for child
maltreatment can help child welfare professionals and others
identify and build on families’ strengths and natural supports to
prevent and mitigate maltreatment and keep children safe.
Child neglect, themost
commonof
maltreatment, occurs when a caregiver does not provide essential
needs like food, clothing, shelter, or medical care, risking the
child's health and safety. Poverty does not equal neglect. Child
abuse is an act by a parent or caregiver that results in or risks
serious harm to a child." Source

Child abuse by parents, teachers,
administrators, doctors, police officers,
strangers and other students should never
ever be tolerated. Children are a vital
precious part of our society and should be
cherished, supported and protected.
Mistreatment by anyone can and will cause
sexual, physical, mental and emotional harm.
Child abuse has many factors such as war,
poverty, homelessness, ignorance, parental
history, substance abuse, unrealistic
expectations by family members, stressful
family events, and a hostile neighborhood
environment. If you witness or are aware
that an abuse situation is prevalent, the
the phrase "See
Something Say Something" must come
into play, since by your silence you as an
individual are part of the abuse.
“Childhood should be
carefree, playing in the sun; not
living a nightmare in the darkness
of the soul.” – Dave Pelzer, A Child
Called “It”
