Every year millions of children are abused and neglected worldwide. Child abuse is a global concern. It has severe outcomes on the children who are victims, and often the effects are long-lasting. Child abuse is a highly underreported crime although of those reported, neglect accounts for the majority of child abuse cases. Neglect in children often has more dire consequences than other types of child abuse (DePanfilis, Children’s Bureau, Office on Child Abuse & Neglect, 2006). One consequence especially prevalent in neglected children is insecure or lack of attachment to a primary caregiver. John Bowlby’s research has shown the evolutionary importance of infant attachments, further research shows that infant attachment styles carry over into adulthood (Levine & Heller, 2006). Neglected children showed disturbed attachments that manifest into developmental delays and behavioral problems. Through treatment neglected children aim to learn how to create secure attachments (Eliana Gil, 2006).
Numerous teachers, family doctors, social workers, among other professionals will be faced with child abuse and have the responsibility of reporting
