Do you think child abuse is wrong? By researching child abuse I intend to show the negative lasting effects child abuse leaves on people. Children may experience a range of emotional, psychological and physical problems and trauma as a result of being abused. (State Government of Victoria 2011). Abused children are more likely than other children to be self destructive or aggressive and to abuse drugs and/or alcohol. (State Government of Victoria, 2011). In the longer term, adults who have been abused as children are also more likely to abuse their own children. (State Government of Victoria 2011). Approximately 5 children die everyday because of child abuse. (ChildHelp. “ child abuse Statistics and Facts. ChildHelp. Accessed March 3, 2015).
