Effects of Child Abuse and Neglect

In the United States there are reports of more than 3 million child abuse annually, including over 6 million children (statistics and facts of child abuse). Child abuse is not necessarily physical, it may be spiritual, emotional or sexual, or negligible. Abuse affects child abuse as well as those who witness abuse. Child abuse can affect children in various ways. Abuse is related to children (Kraizer). The worst way children are affected is to commit suicide.

The impact of abused and neglected children varies greatly. Depending on adults, the effects of child abuse and neglect may be chronic and debilitating, but adverse effects of other adults have historical records (Miller-Perrin and Perrin, 2007). The main factors that may affect child abuse and neglect affecting adults include the frequency and duration of abuse and whether multiple types of abuse occurred. Chronic abuse is defined as "a long-term abuse recurrence event" (Bromfield & Higgins, 2005, p.39) and a transient or isolated abuse event (eg Ethier, Lemelin and Lacharite, 2004; Graham et al., 2010; Johnson-Reid , 2004 call, Drake, 2012)

Child abuse and neglect can have various adverse effects in adulthood. The negative impacts associated with past child abuse and neglect history are often interrelated. Experiencing chronic and multiple forms of abuse or victimization increases the risk of leading to more serious and devastating consequences in adulthood. MOUSOS, J. , & Mackay, T. (2004).

Studies investigating the effects of child abuse and neglect in adulthood are widespread. However, in most studies, it is difficult to associate abuse, neglect and accidental causal relationship by chance because of some limitations. Many studies do not manage other environmental and social factors. This makes it difficult to eliminate the effects of socio-economic disadvantages, disabilities, social isolation and others in combating abuses in negative consequences.
