i'm doing a report on child abuse

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by that question... You didn't give any details. But here's what I found:

Child abuse is the physical or psychological maltreatment of a child, often synonymous with the term child maltreatment or the term child abuse and neglect. Some definitions also include the abuse of children by other children or by themselves. However, in the United States, abuse of a child by another child is not reportable as child abuse, except to the extent that it can be reported as improper supervision by the abused child's parents. While most child abuse happens in the child's home, large numbers of cases of child abuse have been identified within some organizations involving children, such as churches, schools, child care businesses, and in particular native residential schools[1], or in government agencies[2].

According to a recent UNICEF report on child well-being [2] the United States and the United Kingdom ranked lowest among rich nations with respect to the well being of their children. This study also found that child neglect and child abuse are far more common in single-parent families than in families where both parents are present.

There are many forms of abuse and neglect and many governments have developed their own legal definition of what constitutes child maltreatment for the purposes of removing a child and/or prosecuting a criminal charge. In the United States, the Federal Government puts out a full definition of child abuse and neglect and creates a summary of each State definition. To view, go to Definitions of Child Abuse and Neglect: Summary of State Laws [3] that is part of the 2005 State Statute series by the Child Welfare Information Gateway.

Answer 2

Go to the internet site of your school or prime university library, and get into the indexes and databases. Search "little one and sexual and abuse" in a vital database and you'll be able to get a ton of study. I even have a textbook referred to as "Family Violence Across the Lifespan" (Barnett, Miller-Perrin & Perrin) that has a well forty+ pages on little one sexual abuse. You might more often than not discover some thing equivalent in a campus bookshop to simply breeze by way of, or at a library. Good success!
