According to Childhelp, a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds. More than four (4) children die every day as a result of child abuse. Approximately 70% of children that die from abuse are under the age of 4.
Child abuse is regarded as failure to act on the part of the parent or caretaker that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation. Child abuse can occur not only in child’s home but also at schools, kindergartens or other organizations the child interacts with.
There are four types of harm:
- physical abuse
- sexual abuse
- neglect
- emotional abuse
If you feel that something is wrong or unusual in your child’s behavior, try to pay attention to signs like:
- considerable changes in child’s behavior
- troubles with concentrating
- unusual knowledge of sex
- unexplained injuries
- bad schoolwork
