It provides statistics on child abuse worldwide and in Hong Kong. It discusses contributing factors for child abuse including personal, child, environmental, and parental characteristics. It outlines consequences of child abuse that are physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal. It discusses preventive methods undertaken by governments, NGOs, and individuals. Finally, it presents perspectives on child abuse from God's word.
The impact of child abuse and neglect is often discussed in terms of physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences. In reality, however, it is impossible to separate the types of impacts. Physical consequences, such as damage to a child’s growing brain, can have psychological implications, such as cognitive delays or emotional difficulties.
