The documents discuss the harms of psychological/emotional abuse and bullying of children. They find that emotional abuse can be as damaging as physical abuse and take a toll on children's mental and physical health. Signs of emotional abuse include belittling, humiliating, neglecting or terrorizing children. Younger victims of emotional abuse are also more likely to develop alcohol addiction later in life. While emotional abuse is common, it often goes unrecognized and lacks attention compared to other forms of child abuse. More awareness and efforts are needed to address this issue.
The documents discuss psychological/emotional abuse of children and its impacts. The first document indicates that psychological abuse can be as harmful as physical abuse and may be underrecognized. It summarizes research finding psychological abuse negatively impacts children's health. The second document discusses how belittling or neglecting children is considered a form of psychological maltreatment that can have devastating long-term effects, similar to other forms of child abuse. The third document provides background on the prevalence and challenges of addressing psychological abuse of children.
This document summarizes research on the mental health and well-being of youth from privileged suburban backgrounds. Several key findings are presented:
1. Studies found higher than normal rates of depression, anxiety, substance use, and other problems among suburban teenagers compared to national norms.
2. Factors found to contribute to these issues included high achievement pressure from parents, lack of relaxed family time, and isolation from adults after school.
3. Similar patterns of distress were found in studies of private school students and youth from other regions, suggesting it is not just a suburban or regional phenomenon.
4. Research on mothers from privileged backgrounds found higher than normal rates of depression, anxiety, and lack of authenticity,
When abuse occurs in homeschool environments, it can be compounded by children's lack of regular contact with mandatory reporters such as teachers. In some cases, abusive parents may use homeschooling to conceal and intensify their abuse. This presentation covers the things that make abuse in homeschooling environments different from abuse in other environments, and what that means for the children affected.
This document discusses abuse and neglect of homeschooled children. It defines different types of child abuse and provides warning signs. The scope of the problem is substantial - over 90 homeschooled children have died from abuse or neglect since 2000. Abuse and neglect of homeschooled children differs substantively from children in school, as physical abuse may be more severe and children are more isolated without opportunities to disclose abuse. The document provides recommendations for communities and individuals to help prevent abuse and support homeschooled children and families.
The document is a newsletter from the Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida that provides information about their organization and services. It discusses the fundamentals of their 55 years of service, upcoming events and support groups, common misconceptions about mental illness, and how to get involved through membership. The newsletter aims to educate the community on mental wellness.

Parental incarceration has significant negative impacts on children's development and well-being. The document discusses how over 2.7 million children in the US have an incarcerated parent, disrupting family structures and often placing children into unstable living situations. Parental incarceration is linked to higher rates of cognitive delays, mental and behavioral health issues, poor academic outcomes, and future criminal justice system involvement for affected youth. The impacts are wide-ranging and affect children physically, mentally, emotionally, and in their social development. Maintaining family bonds and parental engagement is important for mitigating some of the harms of parental incarceration, but the fracturing of family ties poses ongoing risks to children's healthy development.
This document summarizes a conference on recovery and treatment opportunities for college students struggling with substance abuse, psychological, or emotional issues. It discusses signs that a student may need help, types of available treatment, and challenges of being sober in college. Statistics are provided on drinking, binge drinking, and consequences like injuries, sexual assaults and deaths. The document also outlines the University of California Santa Barbara's substance abuse policies and resources available to students seeking treatment or support.
Child neglect is a social problem that has increased over the years according to statistics. It occurs across all social classes and backgrounds. Stress, unemployment, and lack of education or awareness of child development needs are contributing factors. Strategies to address this issue include educating the community through workshops and distributing informational brochures at various local places like libraries and doctors' offices.
Children have ample opportunities to use electronic communication devices, leaving them vulnerable to cyberbullying. A Canadian study found that by age 11, children text for 80 minutes daily and 58% use social media, despite age restrictions. With increased technology use, bullying has moved online. Cyberbullying involves threatening or harassing messages, photos, and hate sites. Victims experience depression, anxiety, and in some cases suicide. Various organizations and initiatives aim to educate youth and combat cyberbullying through legislation, awareness campaigns, and encouraging positivity online.
The document provides statistics on mental health in the United States and Wyoming. It states that approximately 1 in 5 adults in the US experiences a mental illness each year, and half of all chronic mental illnesses begin by age 14. Wyoming has the highest suicide rate in the nation at 30 deaths per 100,000 people. The document also discusses the causes and effects of mental health stigma, including inadequate treatment and discrimination. It previews a poem about OCD by Neil Hilborn that will be shared to help engage students in conversations around mental health awareness.
effects of domestic violence on childrenEmine Özkurt
Domestic violence can psychologically harm children in several ways. Children who witness domestic violence may experience increased anxiety, confusion, and feelings of fear or guilt. They may also exhibit regressive behaviors, clinginess, aggression, or have trouble sleeping. In the long term, children exposed to domestic violence are more likely to have problems with depression, trauma, and an increased tolerance for violence. It is important that these children receive help and understand the violence is not their fault.

The document discusses substance abuse in Michigan based on data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. It finds that among Michigan youth:
- Alcohol/substance use is associated with increased violent and risky behaviors like fighting and carrying weapons, as well as greater mental distress. Binge and current drinkers report more of these issues than non-drinkers.
- Alcohol use is also linked to riskier sexual behaviors like unprotected sex and multiple partners. Binge and current drinkers exhibit these behaviors more frequently.
- Drinkers are more likely to engage in unhealthy weight control methods such as fasting, vomiting, laxative use and diet pills compared to non-drinkers.

Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic types of crimes. Victims find it especially difficult to discuss due to the humiliation of the physical violation and fear of injury. The three primary responsibilities of law enforcement are to protect, interview, and support the victim; investigate the crime; and collect evidence. The victim is usually the sole witness, but may be reluctant to cooperate due to fear of retaliation or not being believed. Responders need to be prepared for any emotional reaction, approach calmly, offer support services, and encourage medical care and counseling to help with recovery.
This document discusses abuse and violence, including rape, domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, stalking, and incest.

This document describes an automated model called the Strathclyde Model that identifies high risk domestic victims and perpetrators using a Recency-Frequency-Gravity (RFG) scoring system. The model analyzes 365 days of domestic incident data including details on offenses, victims, and suspects. It calculates RFG scores based on the recency, frequency, and gravity of incidents to rank suspects and identify the highest risk individuals. The RFG scores are generated within minutes to help prioritize cases for police response.
Child Abuse Molestation Protection Program - AdministratorsJohn M. Sadler
It is strongly recommended that each sports organization should customize its own program to meet its own unique needs. The board of directors should involve both coaches and parents in the planning process, as they will be more likely to promote the program if their input was received.

This document discusses facts and statistics about the incidence and prevalence of sexual assault in the United States. It finds that the actual rate of sexual assault is 10 to 15 times greater than reported statistics, with studies showing that 24% of women have experienced sexual assault. Most sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone known to the victim, such as a date or acquaintance, rather than a stranger. Acquaintance rapes are less likely to be reported to police compared to stranger rapes. The document examines statistics from various studies and surveys on sexual assault.
The document discusses the issue of molestation in India. It notes that according to a 2007 study, 53% of children in India have been victims of sexual abuse. Molestation affects mostly females and children. Common causes of child molestation include emotional immaturity, drugs/alcohol, and mental issues. Remedies proposed include education programs for children and strict enforcement of laws against molestation. For female molestation, suggested solutions are self-defense training, social awareness campaigns, and counseling. The document emphasizes the need for effective legal reforms and a change in mindsets to address this significant social problem in India.
The document discusses definitions of rape, statistics on prevalence of rape, and common myths about rape. It then covers factors that may contribute to rape, such as gender inequality and pornography. The impacts of rape on survivors are explored, including potential psychological trauma and increased risk of revictimization. Treatment options for both adult and child survivors of sexual abuse/rape are summarized.

This manuscript consists of three sections. Section one provides his
torical data on some 310 documented shootings that have taken place
on school property within the United States. Section two discusses
numerous risk factors associated with school shooters. Section three
discusses numerous strategies for creating safe schools.
Key words: U.S. schools shootings, risk factors of school shooters,
creating safe schools
School shootings are most commonly
committed by either a student who goes to
the school or by an intruder from off campus
who has a connection to someone within a
particular school. From 1760 until 2010, in the
United States alone, there have been more than
310
documented shootings on school property.
These researchers have gathered the following
historic data about these schools shootings:

It is worth noting that America has wit
nessed four major school shootings in re
cent years - one at a university and three at
K-12 schools (public and private). In 1999,
Columbine High School was number 204
out of these 300 plus incidents. In 2006, the
Amish schoolhouse was number 236. In 2007,
Virginia Tech was number 242. In 2012, San
dy Hook Elementary School was number 300.
Since 2010, there have been at least 80
more school shootings. That’s an average of
school shootings per year from 2010 to
20
. The number of deaths in these addi
2014
tional school shootings is 86. Twenty-seven
deaths were reported for Newton, CT alone.
These figures are staggering even though
violent deaths at our schools account for less
than 1% of the homicides and suicides among
children ages 5 to 18 in the United States.
These types of tragedies touch the hearts
of every American and it is time to better un
derstand the particulars of the most horrible
of forms of school violence, school shootings.
Behaviors and Risk Factors of School
Shooters
There are several behaviors—risk fac

many of them are understandable and easy to

Risk Factors for Child Maltreatment Types of Maltr.docxmalbert5
Risk Factors for Child
Maltreatment
Types of Maltreatment
Physical abuse – nonaccidental injury
inflicted by a caregiver
Sexual abuse – the use of a child for the
sexual gratification of an adult
Psychological maltreatment
◦ Includes emotional abuse and emotional neglect
Neglect – act of omission
◦ Physical neglect
◦ Medical neglect
◦ Educational neglect
Types of Factors
Potentiating: increase risk for maltreatment
Compensatory: buffers, decreases risk
------------------------------------------------------
Transient – temporary
◦ Temporary unemployment, loss of a loved one
Enduring – ongoing; chronic
◦ Chronic unemployment; untreated mental health
issues
------------------------------------------------------
Applied to each level of analysis
http://faculty.weber.edu/tlday/1500/systems.jpg
Levels of Analysis of Each Instance of
Maltreatment
Macrosystemic: broad cultural values and beliefs
in the larger society
Exosystemic: social structures that form the
immediate context in which families and
individuals function (e.g., neighborhood, school)
Microsystemic: environmental setting that
contains the developing person (e.g., family,
classroom)
Ontogenetic: factors within the child
Macrosystemic Issues
Acceptability of violence
◦ Levels of violent crime, presence of weapons
◦ Levels of violence in media
◦ Acceptance of corporal punishment
Sexualization of children
Individualism
◦ Focus on nuclear family both fully responsible for and
controlling of children
◦ Geographical isolation of families with children
Values/definitions of work
Exosystemic Issue:
Poverty
Poverty as a stressor: inadequate resources,
feelings of disempowerment (becomes a
microsystemic issue)
Poverty places individuals in less safe
environments, requiring more parental effort to
protect
Poverty places individuals in resource scarce
environments
Increasingly poor urban areas are places to which
people are not committed - less sense of
community
Microsystemic Issues
History of abuse in parents
Mental illness in parents
Substance abuse in parents
Domestic violence
Problematic parenting practices
Lack of social support
Mental Health Issues in Parents
Mental illness impacts childrearing
Mental health issues increase risk of
substance abuse, especially in women
Personality disorders are thought to be
most common mental health problem
◦ Core component of an individual’s way of
perceiving the world
◦ Often go unrecognized as mental illness

Though the scars of psychological abuse may not be as immediately
visible as a bruise or a broken bone, a new statement by a leading
journal in children’s medicine says psychological abuse can be just as
damaging to a child’s health as physical abuse.
The statement co-authored by Dr. Harriet MacMillan of McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ont. and published Monday in the medical
journal Pediatrics, says that psychological abuse may be the most
challenging and pervasive form of abuse and neglect.
Although the phenomenon was described in scientific journals more
than 25 years ago, it continues to go under-recognized and under-
reported, said MacMillan, a pediatrician and psychiatrist at McMaster.

Child Abuse
It may be the most common kind of child abuse ? and the most
challenging to deal with. But psychological abuse, or emotional
abuse, rarely gets the kind of attention that sexual or physical abuse
receives.
(Time.com) -- It may be the most common kind of child abuse — and
the most challenging to deal with. But psychological abuse, or
emotional abuse, rarely gets the kind of attention that sexual or
physical abuse receives.
That's the message of a trio of pediatricians, who write this week in
the journal Pediatrics with a clarion call to other family doctors and
child specialists: stay alert to the signs of psychological maltreatment.
Its effects can be every bit as devastating as those of other abuse.
Psychological maltreatment can include terrorizing, belittling or
neglecting a child, the pediatrician authors say

When a mother in Australia discovered that her 10-
year-old son had stolen chocolates from a corner store
this month, she chose an unusual punishment: She
stuck a sign on his chest and made him confess to his
thievery in public. The sign read, “Do not trust me. I will
steal from you as I am a THIEF.”

Residential school abuse claims surpass federal estimates

The number of people coming forward to say they were seriously
abused at Canada’s Indian residential schools greatly outstrips early
federal estimates and will boost the cost of settlements by more than
$2-billion, federal officials say.
It is a situation that suggests the problems at the government-
funded, church-run institutions that operated for most of the previous
century were far more pervasive than originally believed.
With the Sept. 19 deadline for applications for compensation
approaching, federal officials said Monday they expect the number of
former students alleging serious sexual, physical or emotional abuse
at schools to reach 30,000. That is 17,500 more than anticipated
when the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement was
signed in 2006.

6. Why Canada can't stop bullies
The Toronto Star, Noor Javed, STAFF
REPORTER, November 19, 2009
Daniel Sebben was just 13 when the taunts began. Day after
day, for the next three years, the Newmarket high school student
faced homophobic slurs, insults and verbal abuse from a group
of six boys.
He would come home upset, confused and fearful of what they
might do to him the next day, said mom Karen Sebben.
His marks slid. He became depressed. He began cutting himself
and eventually attempted suicide.
"He emotionally bottomed out. Every day, he was convinced they
were going to get him."
But it was also the lack of support within the "chain of command"
at school, among superintendents and those at the board level
that left the family distraught

kid to kickboxing lessons
One Manitoba mother of a bullied child is taking the issue to the
courthouse, while another is taking her kid to kickboxing lessons.
Earlier this month, Deborah LeBlanc filed a lawsuit against the St. James-
Assiniboia School Division in Winnipeg, claiming her son's junior high
school did not protect him from a bully.
The suit alleges that in May 2008, another student attacked Ms. LeBlanc's
13-year-old son Bryan in school, grabbing him by the throat and knocking
him unconscious as his head hit the floor, which left the boy with neck
injuries and possible brain trauma.
"People shouldn't have to turn to violence to prevent violence," Ms.
LeBlanc says.
But another mother in the city thinks otherwise. The mom, who has asked
to remain anonymous, has enrolled her teenage son in kickboxing classes
and has given the boy permission to "kick the snot out of" his
bully, according to the Winnipeg

Abuse in childhood common among alcohol addicts, study finds
March 15, 2012 | By Shari Roan, Los Angeles Times / For the Booster
Shots blog
Abuse in childhood appears to be a particularly strong
risk factor for developing alcohol addiction later in life,
researchers reported Thursday. Alcohol dependence is
linked to many risk factors -- including genetics,
drinking in adolescence and having other mental health
disorders. A history of physical, sexual or emotional
abuse in childhood is known to be another risk factor.
The new study, however, shows how strong this link
could be. Researchers at the National Institute on Drug
Abuse surveyed 196 men and women who were
inpatients being treated for alcohol dependence.

Drive Planned Against Child Emotion Abuse
February 4, 1987 | VICTOR HULL, Times Staff Writer
About 80,000 cases of serious emotional abuse of
children were reported in 1986, although most
Americans recognize that repeated yelling and cursing
at a child lead to long-term emotional problems, a child
welfare group reported Tuesday. Even so, the figure
represents only a fraction of the number of children
who suffer verbal and psychological mistreatment, said
Ann Cohn, executive director of the group, the National
Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse.
