    Alternative Response

    Maltreated children are at risk for significant psychological and physical health symptoms. These include anxiety, depression, suicide, impulsivity, hyperactivity, interpersonal problems, hyper arousal, and dissociation (Lawson, 2009). Unfortunately, many families with children who face challenges such as child maltreatment have been investigated by the local Department of Social Services for incidents which may be minor or severe.

    Karen Bogenschneider's Family Policy Matters

However, faults can be found in both of these definitions.…
