The children are potential victims of sexual abuse, parents open your eyes for their protection!
Portal FAKTOR 31 July 2016
Every child can be a potential victim and can easily fall in the arms of abusers. The sexual abuse is especially traumatic for the child, leaving marks on his growth and development. The first priority for the parents and the institutions when a child is victim of sexual abuse and pedophilia is his privacy, identity and integrity – says for Faktor, M.A Dragi Zmijanac – President and Founder of the First Children’s Embassy in the World Megjashi.
School staff are required to call both child welfare authorities (the State Central Registry Hotline at 1-877-NJ ABUSE) and local law enforcement to report suspected child abuse. When calling authorities, staff should be prepared to provide specific details about the individuals involved, the nature of the abuse, and related incidents. Staff should make the call from school rather than delaying or calling from elsewhere. Errring on the side of caution by reporting suspected abuse helps protect children, while failure to report can result in legal consequences for the staff member.
This document provides guidelines for media reporting on issues involving child protection in Belize. It outlines standards of accuracy, sensitivity, and upholding children's rights to privacy when reporting on topics regarding their safety, education, health and welfare. The guidelines state that children under 18 should not be interviewed or photographed without parental consent, and their identities should be protected in cases where public knowledge could adversely affect them, with exceptions for those 16 and older who are charged as perpetrators by police. It also addresses avoiding stereotypes, verifying information, obtaining consent, and discretion when portraying children in explicit images related to news stories.
- The Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit (IAIU) investigates reports of suspected child abuse or neglect by school staff, while the local DYFS office investigates reports involving a child's home.
- After a report is made, the hotline screener will determine if the situation requires a child abuse/neglect investigation or a voluntary Child Welfare Services assessment.
- Investigations aim to get a "clean statement" from the child without influence from school staff, and findings can be substantiated, unfounded, or require no further action. Notifications are made to relevant parties based on the investigation results.
This document discusses frequent blinking in children. It notes that normal blinking rates vary from 1 blink every 5 seconds for adults and adolescents to 1-4 blinks per minute for neonates. Frequent blinking in children can be caused by habitual tics, uncorrected refractive errors, anterior segment diseases, psychogenic factors, or central nervous system diseases. Two studies found that the most common causes were anterior segment abnormalities, habitual tics, and uncorrected refractive errors. The document concludes that most cases of frequent blinking in children are benign and self-limiting, and can be addressed through careful examination, treatment if needed, and reassurance.
1) Two babies were recently found abandoned and injured in Macedonia, renewing concerns about responsible parenting and child protection.
2) Experts argue that responsible parenting requires maturity, commitment of time and resources, and ensuring children feel loved - but society prioritizes careers and luxury over parenting responsibilities.
3) Child protection institutions are criticized for reacting too late, not properly monitoring at-risk families, and failing to prevent violence against children.

Millions of Egyptian children live in poverty, resulting in health problems and many being forced to work in dangerous jobs. With families facing difficulties, street children have become common in cities, while rural girls often drop out of school and face early marriage.

CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT 2
Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
Child welfare is one of the special areas of practice in social work. It is special in the context in which the principles and values that govern the social work profession align with policies that guide child welfare organizations. Child abuse is one of the major universal social problems that impact children from all types and levels of society. Child abuse can have a significant impact on the child's personality growth. More so, it can affect the child's adult behavior in later life. Therefore, it the role of the social workers to study the causes of abuse and treatment. Underlaying the efforts is the belief that all societies are responsible for creating an abuse-free society (Zeanah & Humphreys, 2018). This study aims to evaluate factors related to childhood abuse and neglect and social workers' role in alleviating the problem.
Nature and scope of child abuse and neglect
Child abuse is a devastating social problem in society. While the legal definition of child abuse and neglect may vary across different states, there are four recognized classifications of child abuse and neglect. They are sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, and neglect. They neglect medical, educational, and other forms of neglect. Almost 700 000 children are abused every year in the United States. That is about 1 percent of the total number of kids. In 2019, it was estimated that 1770 children in the United States died because of child abuse and neglect. However, the data is incomplete because there are likely to be a lot of unreported cases (Krugman & Poland, 2019). The most prone victims of abuse and neglect are the youngest children. That is children who are in the first year of their life. WWW points out that in 2019 children of 3 years and below experienced a mistreatment rate of 16 per 1000. For children aged 4 to 7 years, the mistreatment rate was 12 per 1000 population. For 8 to 11 years, the mistreatment rate was at 8 per 1000 population. The mistreatment rate goes on decreasing as the children age up. It is the responsibility of child welfare authorities to ensures the safety of children in the country.
Historical Background
For a long time, children have been considered as the property of their parents. Therefore, this notion assumes that parents hold the power of life and death over their children. Throughout history, there have been social provisions that seek to protect orphans and the abandoned children from abuse and neglect. The provisions covered only the orphans and the disabled. However. It is in the last 150 years that the state has made efforts to protect the rights of children by overriding the rights of parents. That means that during the era of the industrial revolution and the invention and introduction of compulsory education attendan ...
YOUTH IN BLACK CAP is a movement against increasing incidences of child sexual abuse It is a peaceful movement to inform and aware communities about the increasing incidences of child sexual abuse and pressurize policy level higher officials/authorities, parliamentarians and law makers for the formulation and implementation of create child protective and friendly laws policies and programs. This is a youth led social movement where the youngsters put on black cap, hold a candle, different handbills and posters related to child sex abuse and stand in the main junctions of the city without hindering the traffic. This movement will be organized every Friday morning from 9-10. Before the organization of the movement, youths will be oriented about the concept of the movement and motivate them to be the part of the campaign. To make the movement throughout the country, local NGOs operating in the district level and youth will be mobilized. CWISH and Dynamic Youth Forum who envisioned the movement will coordinate with different organizations and make a coordination committee to launch the movement from central level. The secretariat of the committee will be in CWISH office, Buddhanagar. The organizations involved in the movement will have active participation. Interested individuals without institutional affiliation can also make voluntary contribution and take part actively in the movement. Coordination committee will provide technical support in need. The movement will be launched in 19 November which is also celebrated as world’s day against child abuse. On this occasion letter of demand will also be submitted to the prime minister.
Sex education should be taught in schools for three reasons: 1) Improving sex awareness by providing students with correct information about sex from trusted sources, as many learn about it unsafely online or from peers. 2) Concerning teenage pregnancies, as sex education encourages responsibility and over 750,000 US women under 20 get pregnant annually. 3) Protecting children and teenagers from sexually transmitted diseases, as those aged 15-24 account for over 9 million new STD infections per year in the US.

Child abuse and racism
It is illegal to treat people differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture. Neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse are a major contributor to child maltreatment, poverty and neglect are highly correlated. Children as well as young people from black and minority ethnic groups experience racism which extends to impact the child’s wellbeing but may vary depending on many circumstances. Some people may view it as racism significantly damages children’s chances of fulfilling their potential; however, research suggests that the effects of racism on a child’s emotional as well as physical and psychological development may be profound since the harmful determinant of population health is in its infancy.
Child abuse that results from racism is the hardest form of prejudice to recognize because children are the one group that is viewed as naturally subordinate until a certain age is reached a stipulated age, they are the responsibility of their parents or guardians that have been accorded the responsibility of having custody of the children. The essential components of child abuse are a claim by adults to the effect that the child is there’s and they see fit to do exactly what they want, or children exist to serve, honor and obey adults.
Children can also experience racism because of what their religion or nationality may be. Racism that results to child abuse takes many different forms which are inclusive of written or verbal threats or insults, damage to property, including graffiti and personal attacks of any kind which includes violence. Consequently, a child that is subjected to any form of racism is more likely to have a negative self-image and low self-esteem, the role of anyone working with children or providing activities for them is to ensure the protection of children who may be vulnerable to racist bullying and racial abuse. Black and ethnic children are most likely to experience bullying than their white counterparts since white children usually witness racial bullying as bystanders as the most common expression of racism is through racist name-calling. Research shows that this form of racism towards children is often viewed by adults as trivial although there is some limited research evidence which shows that racial bullying frequently involves the
It is of great importance that all those who work with children to have a good understanding of how racism can harm children and have the ability to recognize when it occurs and deal with it. Training and awareness of the negative effects of racism and child abuse should be part of a group’s program of care for children or young people while using their services, and policies or procedures should be put in place to ensure that it clear that expressions of racism are unacceptable and the perpetrators of such victimization will be consequential.

Abandoned Children
The term abandonment of children refers to the failure of a parent or guardian to provide support to his/her children as per the requirement of the court of law. Similarly, the practice of leaving a child at the doorstep of a stranger when he or she is not at home has been classified as child abandonment. Generally, child abandonment is witnessed when a person in charge of a child, a guardian, or a parent fails to provide all the basic needs to a child or deserts his/her child without putting into consideration the physical health and the general welfare of the child. According to UNICEF, more than 400,000,000 abandoned children from all over the world live on their own in various streets especially in all the major towns in different countries. More often than not, we are reminded in the bible to, "Care for the orphan" and to "Care for the fatherless." Because if we don't reach out to them, then who will? Rather than asking the question, Why me? We should instead ask the question, Why not me? As members of the society we should act with immediate effect before this problem gets out of our hands.
Different authors have conducted extensive research on some of the core causes of abandoned children or abandonment of children by their guardians or by their parents. Donlon, Lake, Pope, Shaw, and Haskett M (2014), argues that the root cause of abandonment of children is unwanted pregnancies especially among the youth. I do agree with Donlon et.al. that cases of abandoned children especially in the developing countries have been increasing at a high rate because a good number of the youths more so those at adolescent stage are getting pregnant. In order to curb or to reduce this problem then it will be a prudent idea for policy makers in the education sector to introduce sex education as part of the school syllabus. By doing this, youths especially young girls and boys at adolescent stage will be given information on unprotected sex as well as ways in which they can make informed choices. Considering the fact that, knowledge is power, the sex education will equip knowledge to these youths on the consequences of unplanned pregnancies thus we will rest assured of witnessing a substantive reduction in the number of cases of abandoned children in our society.
On their Nelson, Fox and Zeanah, (2013) argue that cases of abandoned children arise as a result of the weakening of our family setup or family institutions. Indeed this argument is very true and as a matter of fact, technological advancement and globalization has created a society whereby parents no longer take the responsibility of bringing up their children however they delegate this duty to other people whom they employ. For the case of the United States of America, nearly all parents who are employed are full time workers thus they spend 10 or even more hours in their places of work. As a resu ...
Youth In Black Cap : A movement against Child Sexual abuse in NepalRamesh Bhandari
Although child sexual abuse is prevalent in our society, many of the parents and children are unaware that it is happening against them. We do not have specific mechanism to aware and enable children, parents, teachers or the community members about protecting children against these abuses. Moreover, children are seldom encouraged to speak about sex. This has resulted into hiding of the cases although they have been victimized of it.
The document discusses educating to reduce child sexual abuse. It defines child sexual abuse and provides statistics on its prevalence. It discusses "Erin's Law," which requires child sexual abuse education in schools. It also discusses efforts taken in Vermont and Columbia County, Oregon to implement abuse prevention education and curriculum. The document argues that decreasing child sexual abuse rates may be possible by expanding education efforts targeting individuals, families, and communities, as was done successfully in Vermont.

Training and awareness of the negative effects of racism and child abuse should be part of a group’s program of care for children or young people while using their services, and policies or procedures should be put in place to ensure that it clear that expressions of racism are unacceptable and the perpetrators of such victimization will be consequential.

Abandoned Children
The term abandonment of children refers to the failure of a parent or guardian to provide support to his/her children as per the requirement of the court of law. Similarly, the practice of leaving a child at the doorstep of a stranger when he or she is not at home has been classified as child abandonment. Generally, child abandonment is witnessed when a person in charge of a child, a guardian, or a parent fails to provide all the basic needs to a child or deserts his/her child without putting into consideration the physical health and the general welfare of the child. According to UNICEF, more than 400,000,000 abandoned children from all over the world live on their own in various streets especially in all the major towns in different countries. More often than not, we are reminded in the bible to, "Care for the orphan" and to "Care for the fatherless." Because if we don't reach out to them, then who will? Rather than asking the question, Why me? We should instead ask the question, Why not me? As members of the society we should act with immediate effect before this problem gets out of our hands.
Different authors have conducted extensive research on some of the core causes of abandoned children or abandonment of children by their guardians or by their parents. Donlon, Lake, Pope, Shaw, and Haskett M (2014), argues that the root cause of abandonment of children is unwanted pregnancies especially among the youth. I do agree with Donlon et.al. that cases of abandoned children especially in the developing countries have been increasing at a high rate because a good number of the youths more so those at adolescent stage are getting pregnant. In order to curb or to reduce this problem then it will be a prudent idea for policy makers in the education sector to introduce sex education as part of the school syllabus. By doing this, youths especially young girls and boys at adolescent stage will be given information on unprotected sex as well as ways in which they can make informed choices. Considering the fact that, knowledge is power, the sex education will equip knowledge to these youths on the consequences of unplanned pregnancies thus we will rest assured of witnessing a substantive reduction in the number of cases of abandoned children in our society.
On their Nelson, Fox and Zeanah, (2013) argue that cases of abandoned children arise as a result of the weakening of our family setup or family institutions. Indeed this argument is very true and as a matter of fact, technological advancement and globalization has created a society whereby parents no longer take the responsibility of bringing up their children however they delegate this duty to other people whom they employ. For the case of the United States of America, nearly all parents who are employed are full time workers thus they spend 10 or even more hours in their places of work. As a resu ...
Youth In Black Cap : A movement against Child Sexual abuse in NepalRamesh Bhandari
Although child sexual abuse is prevalent in our society, many of the parents and children are unaware that it is happening against them. We do not have specific mechanism to aware and enable children, parents, teachers or the community members about protecting children against these abuses. Moreover, children are seldom encouraged to speak about sex. This has resulted into hiding of the cases although they have been victimized of it.
The document discusses educating to reduce child sexual abuse. It defines child sexual abuse and provides statistics on its prevalence. It discusses "Erin's Law," which requires child sexual abuse education in schools. It also discusses efforts taken in Vermont and Columbia County, Oregon to implement abuse prevention education and curriculum. The document argues that decreasing child sexual abuse rates may be possible by expanding education efforts targeting individuals, families, and communities, as was done successfully in Vermont.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Brutal cases of violence against children are more frequent.
1. Brutal cases of violence against children are more frequent. Does the country have mechanisms to
stop them? The three children of Dzemail B. (34) from Skopje, who was last week suspected of
beating to death the 3-year old girl of his tenant, were taken by the Center for social work. The
children, aged 7, or 5 and 6, are already given to a foster family. During the investigation, the abuser
and his wife are in 30-day custody. They will be charged with murder, or abetting. Was the 3-year
old girl beaten previously and why, if there were fractures – no one asked medical assistance nor
called the police? As it is known, the brutal act that upset the public, happened last Friday. Dzemail,
with an electric cable hit the girl because she urinated under the carpet. When he realized what he
had done, he called her mother of the girl, who was at work in a pub in Katlanovo. He told her that
Mevljana had fallen down the stairs. But the results of the autopsy showed something else.
Mevljana’s mother with the other two children lived in Dzemail’s house in Krnjevo-Skopje. Her
husband was in jail. This case again opened the questions for the status of children in dysfunctional
families. How many phantom-children live in the country? Who takes care of them, does the country
have mechanisms to stop violence against children? We did not get any answer from the Ministry of
labor and social work. It cannot be said for sure how big the number of children not listed in the
birth registry or children without any personal document. But the First Children’s Embassy in the
World Megjashi says that there are more than one thousand. They cannot have social or health
insurance, they live in poverty and they are excluded from the society. Born in home conditions,
they are invisible to the country. Most of them are Roma. Often they are forced to begging or
emigrating out of the country. “Driven by the last event when a 3-year old girl was beaten to death,
again, unfortunately, the fact has been confirmed that life of these children is continuously
questioned. Often they are subjected to abuse, violence and negligence by their parents or other
adults with which the child contacts”, says Dragi Zmijanac, director and founder of the Children’s
Embassy Megjashi. According to him, in order to protect these children from violence, it is necessary
to locate families at risk, then to monitor the family and to prepare programs for resocialization and
improvement of the parental capacities. “If parents do not have capacities to respond to their
parental duties, in that case, children should be taken temporarily or parental rights should be
terminated completely if the expert teams from the centres for social work decide that it is the best
interest for the child. Revocation of the parental right, after a rape or a murder of a child occurs,
does not represent a preventive measure. Timely intervention is necessary and essential when it
2. comes to child protection”, points out Zmijanac. First Children's Embassy in the World Megjashi
considers it necessary to establish a central database that would apply only to children, in order to
know the exact figure how many children are on the street, and how many are excluded from the
educational process. Special teams should be established in municipalities that will help citizens in
the process of recording and registration of children who do not have the required documents.
Synchronized actions of all relevant institutions are necessary, taking the obligations and
responsibilities under the Constitution and the Convention. Therefore, a better cooperation
between CSOs and the state institutions responsible for the implementation of care and protection
for all children in Macedonia is necessary. First children’s Embassy in the World Megjashi does not
have data obtained from statistical surveys when it comes to the number of children phantoms. But,
in cooperation with other partner organizations, we have information that maybe the unofficial
number of children who are not registered is greater than 1500. After all, we assert that there is no
accurate data by the state for children without birth certificates and we demand this figure to be
confirmed or to be denied if the state institutions have accurate data on the situation of children
phantoms. According to our information, often these children are members to the Roma
community. The reason for not registering the child absence of a registered address of residence,
birth of children in home conditions, ignorance of the citizens about the way of reporting a child,
children born to underage extramarital relationships, poverty, illiteracy, fear that if later the child is
reported, they will face penalties, negligence by parents etc. By not listing the children, their right to
identity is violated, which later makes it difficult to exercise other rights necessary for optimal
growth and development, such as the right to health, the right to education, the right to protection
from all forms of abuse, the right to protection from discrimination and abuse of their labor. Driven
by the last event when a 3-year old girl was beaten to death, again, unfortunately, the fact has been
confirmed that life of these children is continuously questioned. Often they are subjected to abuse,
violence and negligence by their parents or other adults with which the child contacts. In order to
protect these children, it is necessary to locate families at risk, then to monitor the family and to

between CSOs and the state institutions responsible for the implementation of care and protection
for all children in Macedonia is necessary. We appeal to the citizens who have information that in
some families there is a possibility that children are not registered or some type of violence is being
done, to report it to the relevant institutions Police or Centres for social work. Likewise, they can call
for free the First Children's Embassy in the World 0800 1 22 22 or 2465-316 to report it. Protection
of children is responsibility of all the citizens of Macedonia, raising awareness of children phantoms,
3. as well as the problems and the risks these children face, need to be an incentive for us to act in a
synchronized toward improving the lives of these children.
