Notes de l'éditeur
- The social work profession has a long tradition of involvement with the child welfaresystem, working to support thousands of children and their families who are victimsOf child abuse and neglect each year
- The impact of child maltreatment can be profound. Research shows that child maltreatment is associated with adverse health and mental health outcomes in children and families, and those negative effects can last a lifetime.It is well documented that children who have been abused or neglected are more likely to experience adverse outcomes throughout their life span in a number of areasPoor physical health • Poor emotional and mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and attempts, post-traumatic stress disorder);• Social difficulties (e.g., insecure attachments with caregivers, which may lead to difficulties in developing trusting relationships with peers and adults later in life);• Cognitive dysfunction (e.g., deficits in attention, abstract reasoning, language development, and problem-solving skills, which ultimately affect academicachievement and school performance);• High-risk health behaviors (e.g., a higher number of lifetime sexual partners, younger age at first voluntary intercourse, teen pregnancy, alcohol and substance abuse); and • Behavioral problems (e.g., aggression, juvenile delinquency, adult criminality, abusive or violent behavior) (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2006; Goldman, Salus,Wolcott, & Kennedy, 2003; Hagele, 2005).Abused children often suffer physical injuries including cuts, bruises, burns, and broken bones. As a result, children who are abused or neglected are at higher risk for health problems as adults. These problems include alcoholism, depression, drug abuse, eating disorders, obesity, high-risk sexual behaviors, smoking, suicide, and certain chronic diseases.3,4
- By the early 1900s, the first state laws to prevent child abuse and neglect were passedIt is difficult to say when the modern child protection movement began but (read slide)first two (-)In 1962, Dr. C. Henry Kempe and his colleagues led the identification and recognition of child abuse with their rearched labeled. he Battered Child Syndrome. Battered child syndrome refers to injuries sustained by a child as a result of physical abuse.theriregarded as the single most significant event in creating awareness and exposing the reality of abuse. It gave doctors a way to understand and do something about child abuse and neglect.Kempepersuaded Federal and State policymakers tosupport the adoption of a formal child abuse reporting system. Between 1963 and 1967,all States and the District of Columbia passedchild abuse reporting laws that require professionals and other individuals who work or interact with children to report suspected abuse to child protective service (CPS) agencies.. Federal reportingguidelines were established in 1974 with theauthorization of the first Federal Child Abuseand Neglect Prevention and Treatment Act.The federal government defines child abuse and neglect in the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act as "the physical and mental injury, sexual abuse, negligent treatment, or maltreatment of a child under the age of 18 by a person who is responsible for the child’s welfare under circumstances which indicate that the child’s health or welfare is harmed or threatened."2 Each state provides its own definition of child abuse and neglect\\****The key Federal legislation addressing childabuse and neglect is the Child Abuse Preventionand Treatment Act (CAPTA), originally enactedon January 31, 1974 CAPTA authorized federal funds to improve thestate response to physical abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. CAPTAfocused particular attention on improved investigation and reporting. Inaddition, CAPTA provided funds for training, for regional multidisciplinarycenters focused on child abuse and neglect, and for demonstrationprojects. This law created the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN), which developed standards for handling reports of child maltreatment. It played a major role inshaping the nationwide system of governmental child protective services in place today.
- Increasingly, concerned citizens and organizations are realizing that the best way to prevent child abuse is to help parents develop the skills and identify the resources they need to understand and meet their children's emotional, physical, and developmental needs and protect their children from harmResearch has shown that parents and caregivers who have support—from family, friends, neighbors, and their communities—are more likely to provide safe and healthy homes for their children. When parents lack this support or feel isolated, on the other hand, they may be more likely to make poor decisions that can lead to neglect or abuse.
- Social workers know that working with the child means working with the wholefamily and with other environmental factors in a culturally competent way.
