According to “Cluster on Social Change and Mental Health” from the
World Health Organization, defines child abuse as causing or permitting any harmful or offensive contact on a child’s body; and, any communication or transaction of any kind which humiliates shames or frightens a child. Therefore, any act or omission which fails to nurture or in the upbringing of children. For the purpose of this study only physical and emotional abuse will be examined. Physical abuse refers to inflicting of physical injury upon a child. This may be hitting, punching or otherwise harming a child, whereas emotional abuse includes acts of failure to act by a parent that could cause or have caused serious behavioural, cognitive or mental disorder. This portfolio aims at the various impacts on child due to child abuse such as self-esteem issues, relationships at home and school, behavioural issues and the long term effects of it all. This particular topic was chosen because it appealed to me the most. This is because I am very interested in social work especially with children and also it will assist me academically as I wish to pursue child psychology. In addition, a very close friend of mine was subjected to abuse for approximately ten years. She was seriously affected by the whole incident, and this made me question how she may have felt and how it impedes her everyday life. I fear this epidemic would continue to escalate and be dismissed as insignificant by those in society. The impact on children and child abuse on the whole, must be examined to prevent the occurrence from growing. By conducting this research, I hope to raise awareness of the issue so that individuals, organizations as well as the country on a wider scale can make a tremendous effort to minimize or completely eradicate these happenings.
