Child Abuse presentation for school

numbers, How many take place in a year, day, and are the people who usally do it someone the family knows or are they stangers, Is it always the parents, how many result in deaths, how many abused children become abuser’s themselves, or drug addicts or commit sucide? How many get help from what they have gone through?

I think I would start off by giving a definition to child abuse, what are the different kinds and how they affect the children. I would also look into how our local and state goverment does for these children. I can personally tell you that I have had some dilemas with CPS. I reported a child abuse case in ‘98 and it wasn’t until late last year that something was done about it. I also think you should list reasons for the abuse and how children cope.

I’d personally like to let more people know about how being abused as a child will affect the remainder of your life. . .long term side effects so to speak.

Many people who were sexually abused are prone to substance abuse problems while many people who were physically abused may go on to alcoholism. . .things like that.

A really good book to read about child abuse is A Child Called It.
