Although, the war on enforcing laws accordingly to perpetrators of abuse have successfully placed neglected or abused children into homes of caring relatives or foster homes, there is still a widespread problem with the abuse of children. This review of the topic Child Abuse will examine forms of abuse, occurrences of abuse, and prevention of this complex problem. CHILD ABUSE Child Abuse has many forms. Whether it is emotional, physical, sexual, or neglect all are forms of what Congress has called child maltreatment. While many may think child abuse is only limited to physical abuse, their assumption is incorrect. Sociologists have declared various other forms of abuse that can result in physical and mental damage and in some cases, death. As a Father of three, I couldn’t imagine bringing a child into this already difficult world only to have them live in fear by the ones who should love them. This review of the topic Child Abuse is intended to examine forms of abuse, where and how abuse can occur, who could inflict abuse, and prevention. Although difficult to accept, our society may never abolish child abuse and its many forms but we can educate ourselves in preventing this problem.

The term can denote the use of inordinate physical violence or verbal abuse; the failure to furnish proper shelter, nourishment, medical treatment, or emotional support; incest rape , or other instances of sexual molestation; and the making of child pornography . Child abuse can cause serious harm to its victims. Estimates of the numbers of children who suffer physical abuse or neglect by parents or guardians range from about 1 percent of all children to about 15 percent, and figures are far higher if emotional abuse and neglect are included. In many cases, the abuser himself suffered abuse as a child. When abuse results in death, evidence of child abuse or battered-child syndrome (e.g., broken bones and lesions, either healed or active) is often used to establish that death was not accidental.
