Child Abuse: Protecting Children from Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
When people make a decision to have children, the universal plan is for the parents to love and cherish them. However, unluckily this is not always the result. There are adults in this world who abuse children whether they are infants or teenagers. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provide information that younger children are more prevalent to child abuse than older children is and that the abusers are the parents or relatives. I am interested in the topic child abuse because I am a mother of two and the Media reveal so much of child abuse and neglect that people are unaware of how children are to be protected and not neglected. Children are a precursor to adulthood and if we as adults do not protect their innocents then who will? Once a child has been a victim of abuse, they are capable of occurring Social anxiety disorder (SAD). Although often not diagnosed until many years after the symptom onset, SAD onsets early in life, typically by early adolescence, and thus commonly characterized by chronic associated distress and dysfunction (Depression and Anxiety26:1027-1032(2009),Childhood maltreatment linked to greater symptom severity and poorer quality of life and function in social anxiety disorder NaomiM.

The problem with child abuse and neglect amongst children are that many adults do not realize that neglect is a form of abuse; for example if a parent drop their child to daycare as soon as the daycare open up and waits to pick the child up until it closes is a form of neglect.
