Child Abuse
"Child
abuse and neglect causes trauma, which can impair brain development
and is linked to physical, emotional, and behavioral issues later in
life. Understanding the symptoms and risk factors for child
maltreatment can help child welfare professionals and others
identify and build on families’ strengths and natural supports to
prevent and mitigate maltreatment and keep children safe. " Source

If you witness or are aware that an
abuse situation is prevalent, the
phrase "See
Something Say Something" must come
into play, since by your silence you as an
individual are part of the abuse.
"Child Abuse should also
include teaching your child that
anyone not like you is inferior"
