" The current rates of unfound reports go beyond anything that is reasonably needed. Worse, they endanger children who are really abused."

Abuse cases that go unnoticed and unreported the child who is being abused then most likely dies due to maltreatment. The kinds of abuse endured by many children seem to vary according to statistics, the age and gender of the child, and the way the parents raise and treat their children.

Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and baby abuse are the main kinds of abuse. Physical abuse, intentionally harming a person's body, is the most heard of kind of abuse but is not most common. Physical abuse can range anywhere

Dr. Kenpe commented. Abuse of any kind can occur in any type of environment and any type of family, no matter where they live, race, financial stability, or their culture. One in every three people questioned, say they are or where somehow affected by child abuse and or neglect.

Emotional abuse, is not as common, but is the most damaging type of abuse. The repetition of the insults, criticisms, taunts, and humiliation, ruin a child's "inner strength," and undermine a child's self-confidence and emotional state of mind and well being. In addition, not showing any gratitude, offering encouragement, or praise can also emotionally abuse a child if it goes to an extreme. Most people who emotionally abuse children, are nice one minute, rude, and nasty the next minute. Emotional abuse is not as publicized because not many people know that you can really abuse a child by what you say or do not say.

from a black eye to broken bones or from burns and scalding to stabbing and cuts. In 1962, Dr. C.

I feel as if child abuse and neglect in America today is a very big problem. With over three million children dying each year from abuse, neglect, and maltreatment, we can't afford to over look this problem. Children are the future, and if they grow up abuse, or neglected, what will those children be like as parents? They will be abusers as well. Today, we have parents burying their children in their own backyard, and going on with their life as if nothing had happened. This needs to stop, children need to be showed that they are loved and no one can take their self-confidence, and self-respect away from them. We need to be more open to the fact that one in three people are somehow affected by abuse and they will not let you know they need help or are in trouble until, you ask them. In addition, even then, you may not succeed. However, just keep in mind that a child's life may be in your hands and you may be the only one that could help that child survive. The kinds of abuse, endured by many children seem to vary according to statistics, the age and gender of the child, and the way the parents raise and treat their children.
