It is frustrating how differently countries tabulate their data on this tragedy, which means it is difficult to find accurate data. faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165406012 2022-04-30 18:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165406012 According to the WHO Toolkit on mapping legal, health and social services responses to child maltreatment: "Definitions vary not only between practice and research, but also between the different disciplines (i.e. social work, psychology, sociology, medicine) interested in contributing knowledge to improve support for victimized children." faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165407976 2022-04-30 18:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165407976 There are many factors to take into consideration when documenting abuse. Is it... faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165410596 Cultural, situational, limited episodic or limited continuous, extended episodic or extended continuous?

This can lead to mixed results. faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165411941 2022-04-30 18:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165411941 Children who experience sexual or physical abuse or are neglected are more likely to die prematurely as adults. faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165414816 2022-04-30 18:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2165414816 The agencies involved seem to struggled with the ways to categorize different types of abuse.

This means you could end up excluding cases with unidentified maltreatment. faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167655573 2022-05-03 02:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167655573 faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167660614 2022-05-03 02:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167660614 faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167671183 The statistics on this site are heartbreaking. Children who are neglected have a 43% higher risk of dying early in adulthood. And when you add in their likelihood to abuse their own children, the cost of taking care of children who are abused or neglected and the fact that a report of abuse can happen every few seconds, it seems like more should be done to protect our children. ]]> 2022-05-03 02:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167671183 faithgartner https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167698343 2022-05-03 02:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/faithgartner/cgfax7hjdjsshd5y/wish/2167698343
