- http://www.tpub.com/content/armymedical/MD0584/MD05840095.htmGreat Britain founded the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children To protect children from being a bused in anyway from there friends or family. Many states have noticed child abuse in America, but the first state to work with the law was New York. Through the years other states have joined New York and the laws to help and protect children. Child abuse was eventually given the name battered child syndrome, which is no longer used. Now the term child abuse is used. To help children and families dealing with abuse there are many ways of getting help, there are websites and hotlines for help. Families may even be able to contact mission kids.
- Physical Abuse: hitting, shaking, kicking, punching, beating) Emotional Abuse: yelling, screaming, making the child feel worthless, telling the child that he/she is not good enough, telling them that they are a bad person. Sexual Abuse: touching a child in inappropriate places, showing pornography to a child, a person having a child touch them in inappropriate areas…etc Neglect: not providing the proper necessities to a child, not feeding them, ignoring them, not taking car of there health needs/dental needs(will be explained in further slides)
- This slide shows what type of child is more likely to get abused. Children who grow up in poor families causes stress just like divorced families. And usually the caregiver takes there anger and stress out on the child. If a child has a physical or mental disorder it could cause them to be abused in many ways. They could be in a wheelchair and not be able to feed themselves or clean themselves or they may have a brain of a young child and may not know how to take care of themselves and if the caregiver doesn’t do it, its considered abuse.
- -not quite finished
- This slide shows the statistics of child abuse. Such as the age group of the child to be abused the number of children abused or will be abused each year and the total and percent of all the numbers shown in the body of the chart.
- This slide will show the facts about child abuse that are not so fun. These facts are horrible and sad that stuff like this happens to young children. -the research in this slide shows what children are most likely to get abused and why. The income that a family makes has a great impact on who gets abused, how they get abused and when they get abused. -On Mission Kids website, they say that from the statistics that they gathered “1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18” mostly from there caregiver, a parent, sibling, and even strangers.
- Physical abuse is actually putting your hands on a child. By touching, hitting, punching…etc. physical abuse is the most common abuse in America, and is the most recognizable. Physical child abuse can get really bad if the abuser is on drugs or has been drinking. Child abuse is very severe, it will impact the child's life physically and mentally. as he/she gets older it will be harder to interact with other people. Physical abuse is easilly recognized by the bruises, scars, or broken bones left by the abuser. There is a difference from teaching a child right from wrong, and abuse. If a child does something wrong and you give them a tap on there bottom it is not child abuse, if you smack a child on the hand for maybe, taking a cookie from the jar after you told them not to, is not considered abuse. But if you purposely hit, kick, punch, or beat a child for your on pleasure or because your having a bad day, or foe no reason at all… it is considered abuse.
- Most children will not know when there abuser is going to hit them. But they probably know not to run and hide from them because they will get hit even harder or punished more. If a child runs away the abuser will probably strike them again for leaving. If a child leaves it may make the abuser more angry and willing to hit them again/more often than they have before.Parents abuse there kids because they think it’s a form of discipline, and if they hit/strike there kids they think that they will listen better and more often. Parents don’t need to hurt there kids to get them to behave, a simple tap on the hand or on there bottom should do it, and if that doesn’t work then they should use time out. Parents should not use abuse to keep there kids “in line” either. Its wrong and they are harming there children more than they are helping them learn how to behave.
- This slide is pretty much self explanatory, it explains how to recognize child abuse/the signs of it. Most kids who get abused at home have there wounds hidden in some way. If a child gets abused they will be afraid to go home, afraid to go near the abuser and may start to cry when near them, is afraid of other adults that they could be close to or might not be close to at all. They will constantly keep watch around them as if they are expecting to be hit.
- On this slide it states what emotional abuse is and how it is caused. Most of it is caused by how the parents are raised and how there home life is, and if they were abused when they were children.emotional abuse is he hardest to diagnose because no evidence is shown, unlike physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. Children who are emotionally abused go most of there life abused because they will not speak up to somebody and tell someone that they are being abused or nobody will recognize it.
- Parents who abuse there children were abused themselves as children and they are trying to get back to someone else and letting there anger out on someone else for what has happened to them. Emotional abuse is the hardest to diagnose because the child will be upset a lot and will cry. But children do get upset and cry anyway. There is really no evidence to be shown unless the child speaks up to someone and tells someone who is not abusing them that they get made fun of at home, or that someone is telling them that they are no good or useless…sometimes other people will not believe the child which makes it hard to diagnose as well. -there is no true evidence to show that a child is being emotionally abused, a very thorough investigation is needed to determine if emotional abuse is occuring.
- Children who are emotionally abuse will act different when they are around other people than when they are around other people. Around the caregiver they may act frightened, scared, they may hide and they may cry a lot. But around other people the caregiver may warn the child to act like there is nothing wrong and to act like a normal person. Usually if the child doesn’t listen when they are out around society the child will come home with the caregiver and get abused more if they did something wrong’ the child will be lucky if they went home and the caregiver did nothing to him/her.The signs of abuse in the child shows how the child will react towards other people and other children it also explains that the child may act like his or her abuser towards other people as well.
- This slide is similar to the previous slide. The previous slide was to the reactions of the child, but this slide is the reactions and the behavior of the abuser.
- The abuser will say cruel words to the child, some that the child may not even know, and the words could hurt there feelings. -the child may be like there abuser. They will be aggressive, they will have anger issues, will be demanding, enraged and will not act like a normal child who is not abused. -the child is overly obedient, they will listen to other caregivers such as a babysitter, a teacher or a police officer. They will like to get confirmation that they can do something they will ask “can I?” or “am I being bad?” if a child asks these questions frequently there is a chance that abuse is occuring, and you have a right to suspect it. -will act like adult -and may wet or soil bed every night if abuse is occuring
- Sexual abuse is inappropriately touching a child. My teacher always told her preschool students “do not let anybody touch you where your bathing suit covers”. And that is true. If an abuser touches a child in those areas for there own pleasure it is sexual abuse. Most of the time sexual abuse happens by a relative of the child, very rarely it happens with a stranger. It may be parents, siblings, grandparents, family friends, etc. sexual abuse is very rarely recognized, because it doesn’t show as mush as physical abuse or neglect. Strangers don’t abuse children as often, but if a child is left alone with one like a babysitter or family friend they could abuse them. Abusers do this to children who trust them and who like them, but eventually the abuser will break that trust bond and sexually abuse or rape the child. Pornography may not seem like sexual abuse because its not happening to them, but abusers most of the time have children watch it so that the children can do what they saw on the pornography to them.
- Sexual abuse has many signs. Whether it be many difficulties, or a child afraid of being near any type of adult, family member…etc. sexual abuse affects children physically and emotionally. When children are abused they may have trouble walking, standing, sitting, using the bathroom and more.
- Children may also have behavioral/mood changes, because of possible forced sexual activity with these innocent children they may wet the bed even when they are already potty trained. They will be treated as a younger child when they are abused so during the abuse or after they are attacked they will act like a younger child. They might cry often or be very depressed, because they don’t know how to tell or they don’t want to tell someone what's going on. Crying is the only way they can feel better being abused. The child who is being abused may talk about sexual activities with other children that is way older then they should be talking about for there age., and they will know about this only because of what there abuser does to them.
- On this slide it describes on how to know If a child is being neglected. There are different signs such as there appearance, there odor, the type of clothes that they are wearing…etc. when the children are with there parents out in public they will act different towards each other until they are alone. Around other people abusers will acknowledge there children, but at home they will ignore them and pretend that they are not there, and make them feel worthless and feel guilty.
- -Delays in the cognitive department include delays in the brain and the thinking area.Lack of attention would include a child who does not bathe, shower, or care for themselves or there caregiver does not care for them either.The child may not get proper health care such as the required vaccines, lack of dental care, does not get checked out by the doctor if they are sick. Pretty much the caregiver of the child does not show any type of concern or remorse towards the child at all.
- -the signs and how to recognize neglect is shown I different ways. Such as there home life and there life outside of there home. -the lack of shelter, food, water, hear, furniture, beds is a BIG sign of neglect at home. The child does not have anywhere to sleep, eat of keep warm when its cold outside, -The bathrooms are dirty, or a single bathroom is dirty which is specifically for the child while the rest of the house could be clean. -The child will get sick easily or is always sick because of bugs, rats, mice etc inside the house that causes diseases in the children and the family. -The childs parents will not get there child to school. They will be home doing nothing or tending to what ever the caregivers want them to do. -Although physical abuse has more symptoms than neglect, Neglect happens more than physical abuse does.
- My application has been going very well for the past few months. I have raised over $86 Dollars for mission kids. I know that there are some organizations who take fundraised money and the money isnt used what it was raised for. But I have gotten reassurance from mission kids that the money will go to them and to the victiims of child abuse and there families.
- This slide describes who mission kids is and what they do with the children they are helping with who have been abused. Mission kids does not only help victims who have been abused, but they also make the victim feel comfortable with the staff member who has been helping them. They provide a safe environment for the child and do not make the child talk to them, they let them talk when they are ready and comfortable to do so.
- This slid also shows and describes what mission kids does and who they are. In he bold lettering it tells how well mission kids work with Montgomery County.Mission kids was granted and award for helping out many victims and there families and for serving montgomery county for years. Even though Mission Kids has not been around for a long period of time they have done an amazing job serving many people.
- if a child is in immediate danger of call a local police department you should call 911 immediatelyIf you suspect that a child is being abused call the Montgomery county Office of Children and youth, they will research the home environment and talk to the family and the child. They will investigate, to see what they can come up with.If you know for sure sure that a child is being abused then you should call Pennsylvania’s child abuse hotline, they will do everything that they can to help the victim of abuse.
- The boys town hotline is meant for the younger children who are being abused at home and are afraid of telling a teacher or a family member because they may think that someone else is going to harm them for telling someone.The child help USA is for both children and teens in the United States who are being abused at home, or are in abusive relationships with someone elseThe Covenant house hotline is meant for both teens and children in the united states who are ready to run away from home because they are being abuse by there parents or a sibling.
- You should not conduct your own investigation because the abuser could get you into a lot of trouble. Which could put the child in more danger of being abused even more, the abuser may think that the child said something to someone else to the the abuser into trouble which could cause the abuser to move from one location to another making it harder for the correct authorities to investigate.
