CHILD ABUSE
The six types of abuse are:
1. PHYSICAL ABUSE:
Where a parent (or somebody else caring for a child) physically hurts, injures, or kills a child. This may involve hitting, shaking, throwing, poisoning, burning, scolding, drowning, suffocating, or otherwise causing physical harm to a child.
2. SEXUAL ABUSE
When adults seek sexual gratification by using children. Involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities. This may involve physical contact, including penetrative and non-penetrative acts.
3. NEGLECT
Where parents (or whoever is caring for the child/youth) fail to meet the basic essential needs of theirs, (e.g., adequate food, clothes, warmth, and healthcare).
4. EMOTIONAL ABUSE
Where children are harmed by a constant lack of love, affection, or threats. It may involve conveying to the child/youth that they are worthless, unloved, inadequate, or valued only insofar as they meet the needs of another person.
5. DEPRIVATION
Where children/youth's needs fail to be met, and their potential and life chances are damaged by social forces and/or institutions.
6. EXPLOITATION
Where individuals and social institutions (including institutions of the state) satisfy their own needs or purposes inappropriately using children or youth.
COMMON EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TO ABUSE:
- Shock
- Denial
- Sympathy
- Pity
- Frustration
- Anger
- Distress and Anxiety
- Guilt and Self-recrimination
- Blame
- Sadness or depression
- Horror and disgust
- Revenge and desire for punishment.
SHORT AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD ABUSE:
- Death
- Disability/ Permanent Physical injury
- Developmental Delay
- Failure to thrive
- Low self-esteem
- Learning problems
- Behavioral problems
- Inability to maintain relationships
- Psychiatric Problems
- Eating disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Substance Abuse
- Homelessness
- Prostitution and criminal behavior
- Suicide
IMPACT OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT
Children and youth are usually not recognized as subjects of human rights, and adults can place arbitrary limits on their fundamental freedoms. Fundamental freedoms are highly dependent on the goodwill of adults.
In Canada, as in all countries worldwide, some children are particularly vulnerable. Aboriginal children and youth with disabilities are mostly abused and neglected, and refugee children and youth are found to be particularly at risk. Aboriginal Canadians have a disability rate that is more than twice the national average.
Aboriginal children are at a greater risk of school failure than other Canadian children and youth. A disproportionate number of Aboriginal children and youth are the victims of abuse and neglect compared to non-Aboriginal children and youth. The suicide rate among Aboriginal youth is about five times the national rate. An estimated 535,000 children and youth under age 20 have some form of disability.
ARTICLE 19 requires countries to take broad measures to protect children from maltreatment, including violence, abuse, and neglect. In Canada, provincial and territorial child welfare systems are responsible for child protection. Child welfare legislation recognizes that families are primarily responsible for the care, supervision, and protection of their children, but when a child is at risk, the government has a duty to intervene to protect the child.
ROLE OF MEDIA:
The media play a powerful role in today's youth. Television shouldn't be a scapegoat for the problems we face, but it should be part of the solutions. For these reasons, we were pleased to gather many of the country's top entertainment industry producers and executives along with leading academics, advocates, and children's experts to explore a number of important issues.
- What role can and do the media play in helping the youth develop a sound sense of values to prepare them for the many difficult choices they need to make in the years ahead?
- What can be done to ameliorate the negative messages many children may currently be receiving through the media?
- What steps can be taken to promote tolerance and respect by improving the quality of portrayals of women and minorities on programming watched by children?
Television has become today's storyteller. By the age of 18, the average child will have watched 22,000 hours of TV—more time in front of the tube than in the classroom.
CERTAIN TIPS ON WATCHING TV:
- Start early in talking with your kids and youth about the movies and programs they watch.
- Put your family on a Family TV diet.
- Talk with your children about setting TV rules for the family.
- Make it a point to watch the programs with your children whenever possible.
- Look for special programs that help your people deal with "hot-button" topics such as drugs, alcohol, sex, and peer pressure.
- Be aware of fast-breaking news stories with violent or sexual content.
