The importance of reporting child abuse
To the editor:
Child Abuse is not only a real day-to-day issue, it is also the number one cause of depression, anxiety, and distress in the life of a person. Some people are unable to trust others, be involved in healthy relationships, struggle to regulate their emotions and will even feel worthless for the rest of their lives. Child abuse is not only physical and sexual abuse, it is also relevant to emotional abuse or child neglect. Although it is true that some signs of child abuse and neglect are more recognizable than others, there are basic symptoms that anyone can pick up on to identify a case of child abuse. The earlier abused and neglected children get help, the greater chance they have to heal from their abuse and not perpetuate the cycle.
