Im writing a speech on child abuse for english?

Question

Im also creating a video as a visual aid. If anyone has suggestions or other things they would liek me to include, please let me know cause im not quite sure what to write about.

Answer 1

I think some of the statistics would be a good way to open...the number estimated to be abused each year, the number removed from homes/placed in foster, the number of hospital visits, the number of deaths. You could use your state, your city, or US nationally.

It hasn't gone up dramatically,but reporting has and that's an important factor--how to deal with the REAL problem and not sweep it under the rug.

Answer 2

Have you read the books by Dave Pilzer? (A Child Called It, A Man Called Dave, etc.). They're memoirs of an abused child and might help.

Answer 3

childhood sexual abuse has some alarming statistics - the lack of success on treating predators is interesting and people need to be informed - also the statistics on single mothers shacking up with a boyfriend and her children being abused by that boyfriend is so sad. do good!!!

Answer 4

get something about DAVE pelzer (from the book a child called it ) its all true..

Answer 5

"they would like me to include"... It's your project, so why would we ask you to add something else? lol

For the speech, talk about the problem and how it can be solved.
