Stop Abusing And Protect The Innocent

A child can be physicaly or psychologicaly harmed or injured due to abuse. Child abuse includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect.
A Child is Physicaly abused when parents or other adults deliberately injure a child or do nothing to prevent it. This includes hitting, shaking, biting and kicking, and can also be giving children alcohol or drugs. Using excessive force when feeding or changing a baby, and trying to drown or suffocate also come into this category. Injuries caused in physical abuse include bruises, burns and broken bones. The most serious cases can result in brain damage and even death.
A child is emotionally abused when parents continuously fail to show love and affection to a child. This might also be when parents or other adults constantly use sarcasm, threaten, criticise, yell at or taunt a child. Emotional abuse can destroy a child's self-esteem, making them fearful and withdrawn. All children need love and praise to feel confident and loveable. The effects of emotional abuse are serious and long-lasting, causing difficulties in relationships, mental health and confidence in adult life.
A child is Neglected when parents fail to meet a child's basic needs for food, warmth, clothing or medical attention. This can also mean leaving children to fend for themselves when they're too young and immature to manage this - leaving them home alone without adult supervision, for example. Neglected children may be very withdrawn or very aggressive, and can develop health problems or have difficulty coping in school.
A child is Sexualy abused when an adult, or sometimes an older child, uses a child for sexual gratification. This might mean forcing a child to carry out sexual acts, including sexual touching, oral sex and intercourse. It can include 'flashing' and indecent exposure, deliberately showing a child adult pornographic videos or magazines, and filming or photographing children in a sexual way. Both boys and girls are sexually abused, and it can happen to very young children - even babies - as well as older ones. The effects of sexual abuse are long-lasting and highly damaging. It can cause problems in adult personal relationships. Some children who are abused in this way may go on to become abusers themselves.
We must work to increase public awareness of abusing and to help children and young people protect themselves.Services like therapy and counselling to help children come to terms with what has happened to them and move forward in life will help the most.And also offering support to non-abusing parents to help them protect their children in the future. And please protect the innocent.If you have any concerns about the safety of a child, it's better to trust your instincts and take action to make sure that any abuse is stopped.Start standing up for the kids, and stop sticking by the adults.
