Local Context
This topic is still an issue in Chicago as a report came out saying “that 87 of the 210 child deaths investigated during the fiscal year that ended June 30 involved credible evidence of abuse or neglect.” Also not to speak about the 29 different investigating that are still on going. The issue is also presented in different daycares as one report came out saying “the director at the day care, striking the child numerous times with what appears to be stuffed animals and her hands”. This happens at numerous daycares all around Chicago and all over the state of Illinois.
There is different organizations as the National Children’s Alliance and also the most known “International Society For The Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect” and what they do is “only multidisciplinary international non-profit organization that brings together a worldwide cross-section of committed professionals to work toward the prevention and treatment of child abuse, neglect and exploitation globally. We provide professional development, resources and tools to child protection professionals around the world. Learn more about ISPCAN”. Parents, grandparents, or anybody that is serious about this topic or want to stop Child Maltreatment can go to organizations to take lessons to learn about it. From there they can spread out the word about the different topics about it then put it out there and let people know about it. Then from there they can make our their own class or go to different meetings with people and maybe guide them through these different situations. |
