One problem in our comunnities is abuse. There are many different forms of child abuse such as: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and verbal abuse.
This is an important issue because in verbal abuse people call each other names. It might hurt someone's feelings. Another example of abuse is sexul abuse. This can be between an adult and a child or between an older child and a younger child. The hardest type of abuse to define is neglect. Neglect is when a child doesn't have food, housing, clothes, medical care or supervision. Emotional neglect happens when a parent doesn't provide enough emotional support or pays very little attention to a child.
Some things being done to combat this problem are:
PSYHOLOGISTS-helps people with problems when they can't help themselves.
CHILD SERVICES-find homes and families for children who are rejetected.
SHELTERS-provide food and shelter for abandoned people.
COUNSELORS-can help people when there is a problem at home or with someone else. |
