Child neglect is an ongoing failure to provide the right care and attention to a child's needs, including food and a safe environment, or to a child's emotional needs including warmth, security and love. A lack of these things are likely to result in serious damage to the child's health or development. According to the NACC neglect can lead to some obvious physical symptoms though often it can take years for emotional and psychological symptoms to become apparent. "Those who harm children rob them of opportunities to grow up safe, healthy and with dignity, To ensure that children are protected, the abuse and exploitation of children must be brought to light and those who violate children brought to justice" Veneman. Basically, those who commit to child neglect are of incompetence and is denying the child to grow up with skill to living a healthy lifestyle. Children worldwide face many different forms of abuse and problems. The ChildSafe network aims at creating an international network protecting children from all forms of abuse and dangers. On these pages you find an overview of child abuse – such as physical, sexual and emotional abuse as well as neglect - and dangers for children - these dangers include drug abuse, migration, child labour, trafficking and illegal adoption.To my understanding abuse and neglect of people is contrary to the dignity of the humans. Most of all it dehumanizes and takes away from the greatness of a good life. Maltreatment of children especially deserves our attention because babies, toddlers, young children and adolescents are not in a position to stop the abuse or neglect them. They may not even recognize that they are being mistreated, or be able to communicate what is happening to them, they dont know their rights at their age. According to the MSH organization in order to create a culture of life, we must recognize the incidence of child maltreatment and take action to both prevent it from happening and stop it where it is occurring.
