Answer 1

Child abuse includes the physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, negligent treatment, or mistreatment of children under the age of 18 by adults entrusted with their care. Accurate statistics are difficult to compile, since many incidents of child abuse go unreported. In 2010 more than 2.6 million cases of child abuse were reported. After investigation, an estimated 700,000 children were confirmed as victims of actual abuse or neglect situations.

Many abusive parents were themselves mistreated as children, suggesting that these parents may have learned an inappropriate way of caring for children. Such parents tend to use the harsh physical discipline that they saw their own parents using. Many abusive parents have little patience with their children. Often they have unrealistic expectations. Overburdened and stressed parents are more likely to abuse their children.
Social-cultural stresses such as unemployment and lack of contact with family, friends, and groups in the community are other factors associated with child abuse.
Abuse has many developmental effects for its victims. In turn, this may lead to antisocial behavior, depression, identity confusion, loss of self-esteem, and other emotional problems. Every state and most counties have social services agencies that provide protective services to children. They have legal authority to investigate reported incidents of child abuse.

Parent education for abusive parents enables them to learn new ways of dealing with their children. By providing information about resources and a support system for these families, communities may reduce the incidence of child abuse. States, counties, cities, and private organizations provide protection for children in abusive situations. They also offer family counseling to help parents learn to discipline without abuse.
