Who Are The Abusers Os Children?
rs Child abuse is a broad
v, .generic term covering many
forms of child maltreatment
including: Non-accidental
physical abuse; neglect; sex
ual molestation; and emo
tional abuse. /
It has been estimated that
at least one million children
suffered last year from abuse
, in America. At least 2,000 cJ
them died.
There are not completely
’ reliable national statistics on
' the incidence of child abuse
cases because the reporting
? differs from state to state. All
: r states do, however, have laws
requiring its reporting. Some
cases may not be reported
because of a lack of
awareness of the re
quirements to report, lack of
knowledge of how to report
and a reluctance to get <
involved.

DALLAS L. JETHRO, JR.
CLERK TO THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION AND REVIEW
The number of serious
cases has been increasing
dramatically in recent years.
Some authorities believe that
because abuse results from
stress, the stress caused by
current economic situations
may be having its tragic ef
fect on children.
Who are the abusers?
Abusers often percieve a child
as being different or having
special needs that set the
child apart from other
children. The child may seem
too passive or too active. The
child may be the result of an
unwanted pregnancy or may
have a birth defect.
Sometimes in a family of
several children, just one will
be singled out as a victim
while the others lead relative
ly normal lives. In other
cases, all the children will be
abused.

Abusers tend to have
unrealistic or inappropriate
expectations of their children.
They may set standards that
are impossibly high. They
may wrongly believe that
children should always be
quiet, or never make a
mistake.
Child abuse does not belong
solely in the domain of the
poor. Abusers come from all
economic, racial, ethnic, and
religious groups. Money pro
blems, however-especially
the grinding money problems
of the poor-contribute to
Lumber Imports On The Rise
Canadian lumber imports
reached a record high, of 31
per cent of softwood lumber
consumed in the United States
during 1982, according to
recently released U.S. Dept,
of Commerce statistics. This
marked the 7th year in a row
when Canadian lumber im
ports increased as a percen
tage of U.S. lumber consump
tion, increasing from 18.7 per
cent in 1975 to 30.9 per cent in
1982.
Total U.S. lumber con
sumption declined for the
fourth year in a row, declining
from 41.5-billion boiuti feet in
1978 to a post World War II
low of 29.4-billion board feet in
1982.
John C. Milliner, executive
vice president of Southeastern
Lumber Manufacturers
Association, an association of
small business mills in 12
southern state stated, “record
low consumption of softwood
lumber combined with record
high percentage of Canadian
lumber imports turned 1982
into the worst year for the
lumber industry in this coun
try since the mid-1930’5.”
Milliner emphasized, “about
half of the unemployed mill
workers in the entire country,
were out of a job because of
increased percentage of
Canadian lumber imports and
half because of the extreme
ly poor market conditions of
the housing industry
devastated by record interest
rates.”
-s,,“lf‘the Commerce Depart
ment fails to offsst Canadian
itJnibet ’subsidies with.:a.
cbfalteftklling duty in July,
there will be very little chance
of putting most unemployed
mill workers back to work in
1983. What we will see is a
continued increase in the
percentage of Canadian
lumber imported into the
U. 5.,” Milliner predicted.
Secretary of Commerce
Baldrige is scheduled to make
a final determination on the
question of Canadian lumber
sibsidies May 23. His
preliminary determination on
March 7th was negative. A

abuse. Other stresses, such as
a shaky, fight-filled marriage,
also contribute to abuse.
Child abuse is a communi
ty problem; abuse can only be
prevented through activities
at the community or local
level. And because child
abuse is such a complex pro
blem, community activities
must include a number of dif
ferent strategies.
The earlier support can be
provided, the better. For child
abuse to be prevented,
families need support at
many different times.
manufacturers appealed this
decision to the U.S. Court of
Interoationl Trade. If the ap
peal is successful and the U.S.
International Trade Commis
sion reaffirms its earlier deci
sion that imports are injuring
the U.S. lumber industry, a
counter-vailing duty would be
placed on Canadian lumber
imports in mid-July.
