It is our moral responsibility to report child abuse

Stc01220 Jan, 2022Other

Physically, emotionally, and sexually injuring, ill-treatment, exploitation, negligence or divestment of any child is called child abuse. Widespread, mostly seen, yet hidden, child abuse breeds within our society. We must identify the root of this evil and works towards dismissing it completely; the solution is information and addressal. Children, largely, aren?t able to apprehend the gravity of affairs; it is because of this lack of knowledge and confidence on their abusers, they are often incapable of conveying that they have been abused or mistreated. At these times, as adults, we must be their advocates to report child abuse; we must strengthen and encourage them to speak up.
