Child Abuse Remains I
A National Problem |
By KATIE FLEMING
Publicity Chairperson
For Warren CoOSty
Child abuse and neglect is
a growing problem in
Warren County, the state
and the nation. Since July
1971, over 25,000 children
have been reported and
confirmed as being abused
or neglected in North
Carolina with at least 100 of
these dying. It is estimated
that 2,000 children die each
year in the United States
from neglect or abuse.
There is no way to tell how
many more were abused or
neglected that were not
reported to the local Social
Services Department' as
required by law.
The law says professionals
must report whenever
they suspect that a child is
being abused or neglected.
Other citizens must do so if
they know that a child is
being treated that way. How
can you tell whether a child
is abused or neglected?
Some common signs
which might indicate that a
child under 18 years of age
has been or is being abused
or neglected are:
1. Often hungry-not fed
enough or when he needs
food.
2. Usually unclean and
unbathed.
3. Inadequate or inappropriate
clothing for the
weather.
4. Sick, but his family has
not taken him to a doctor for
needed medical care.
5. Beaten, burned or
injured in other ways.
6. Cringes every time you
raise your hand or go
toward him.
7. Seldom piays wimi
children, shy and withij
drawn.
8. Frequently absent or
tardy from school.
9. Given dangerous thing*
such as drugs or alcohol of
parents appear to use
alcohol or drugs excessively
which interferes with proper#
care.
10. Parents use extreme
forms of punishment such as
excessive shaking, locking
him in a room or closet,
striking him with objects
such as belts, hairbrushes or
electric lamp cords.
11. Parents explanation of
what happened does not
seem appropriate for the
type of injuries the child
received.
12. Parents seem to lack
concern or interest in what
the child is doing.
These are only some
general indicators that
abuse or neglect of a child is
going on. Not only is it
important to recognize some
of these signs but also to
realize that the parents are
not monsters. Most parents
want to be good parents.
Neglected and abused
children may be found in
families with problems,
families under stress, or
families in crisis — families
unable to deal with life
situations.
Abused and neglected
children are found in
families of every economic
and social status, as well as
in rural, urban and metropolitan
communities.
Parents who abuse and
neglect children need help,
and early detection prevents
serious problems.
