Child abuse Laws. One of the most difficult and challenging areas of the law are those statutes and regulations that govern child abuse or child neglect cases. Of course, the primary reason why child neglect and child abuse laws is so challenging is because of the very subject matter.

In many jurisdictions around the country, child abuse and child neglect cases call under a common heading known as a child in need of care or CINC case. When an appropriate affidavit and petition or complaint is filed with the court - either through the state agency charged with overseeing the health and welfare of minor children or from the local county or district attorney's office - the court is in a position to evaluate whether immediate action needs to be taken in regard to the custody of the minor child.

In other words, the court will consider whether the minor child that is the subject of the affidavit and of the petition or complaint is in danger of immediate or ongoing hard, that court can issue a temporary order immediately changing the custody of that child.

Some Thoughts on Child Abuse 

Executive summary about child abuse articles by Pauline Fredrickson

Newsflash - a six year old boy took a large kitchen knife to school and menaced another child. Fortunately the teacher observed the incident and removed the knife from the child's possession.

No notification was sent to the threatened child's parents - had the child himself not told them they would never have known. In my opinion both those boys needed help. The other child needs help to learn how to deal with his feelings and emotions without hurting others.

In days gone by children were innocent little people who played and learned without a care in the world. Parents protected them from physical harm and from the stress factors which belong in an adult life. In this world children lived with an innate trust that their parents loved them and would do nothing to harm them nor would they allow harm to come to them.

How can parents harm or permit harm to come to their offspring? How have we as a society failed these children?

Physical child abuse

Physical child abuse can seriously injure or kill a child

Executive summary about Physical Child Abuse by Paul Ingersole

Child abuse that involves any type of hitting, kicking, punching, or beating with an object – anything that inflicts pain is considered physical child abuse. Physical child abuse is never acceptable; it reflects an out of control person who uses pain and scare tactics rather than reason in handling dealings with a child.

domestic abuse

Physical child abuse can seriously injure or kill a child. Parenting classes and anger management classes are available in almost every community. Physical child abuse is based on control over that child. Children of physical abuse are often afraid. If there are several children being abused, the older children often instigate the beatings towards them to protect the younger children.

This type of abuse can lead a child into a life time of such abuse. We can all help prevent physical child abuse by reporting any suspicions we have immediately. Children need to know that they have options and trusted adults to turn to if they are the victim of physical child abuse.
