Children learn new ideas everywhere and soak these ideas in whether good or bad. Just because a child may not appear disabled or need special need doesn’t mean that child is mentally stabile. These are the children who would least be expected to attend therapy but they are also the ones who should be spoken to by a professional.
Define n cite def of all types of child abuse: Child abuse is the mistreatment of a child by parent, guardian, family member or even friend. Physical abuse similar to beating with hands or an object, locking someone in a small space, shaking or throwing someone are considered the most common abuse because these acts tend to be accepted by so many different cultures. Another common form of abuse is sexually where unwanted/ inappropriate sexual acts or comments are pursued between a child and parent/guardian, family member or friend. The form people don’t usually see as abuse because there isn’t any physical evidence is emotional abuse where a child is belittled or called names.
Some effects of these types of abuse can result in serious trauma to body parts or disturbing recollections that may form flashbacks later. Children may end up harassing others or becoming easily mistreated as they grow up. Something important to keep in mind are the signs of any of these types of abuse when working with children. If a child hits other children because they don’t like what they are doing, or there are marks of hitting on the child, physical abuse should be a concern with that child.

BETTER THREAT
SECTION 1. Children. Children in foster care are often neglected and abused by some parents. The following section provides specific steps to take and how to avoid potential child abuse and neglect in your child care.
In an initial step when a child is outed, the parent or guardian should:
Give the child a gentle, protective home, such as a hospital, school, or boarding house, or
Ask the child’s parents if they will be interested in doing anything to help the child, like changing his diapers or wearing a diaper he may need regularly, to be included on some medication.
If the child has been taken from the hospital, contact the child’s school board. Most of the time there is no medical intervention, but sometimes there may be an immediate problem, such as a rash, where you will need another diaper at home. It’s important that your child always wears his or her diaper that day, and never leave the hospital without it.
If a child is being treated for a serious medical condition (such as cancer or kidney disease), the parent or guardian should take the appropriate action to help the child see if the medical care is needed. If possible, call a health care provider immediately to schedule a meeting to take over the care of the child (e.g., by calling 1-800-273-TALK). Many times, if the hospital is able to provide the services, you may do the following:
Make sure you and your child get along.
Don’t tell anybody about the situation until it is all over. If you don’t see anyone, call the family counselor or school social worker.
