    The key takeaways are that child abuse has long lasting negative effects on children and it is important to educate the public and protect children from abuse.

    Child abuse is when a child is mistreated physically, emotionally or sexually by someone close to them like family members or caregivers. It can also be by strangers.

    Some of the long term effects of child abuse mentioned are depression, low self-esteem, post traumatic stress disorder, developmental problems and the abused child may grow up to be abusive adults themselves.

    Topic : Child Abuse
    Introduction

    This project contributes 25% of the researcher’s CSEC’s marks. The researchers
    chose the topic child abuse because it is an activity that is being overlooked and
    common in the entire country.

    This project explains what is child abuse , the effects and causes of child
    abuse. The researcher also gave recommendations based on her findings as to
    how child abuse can be prevented.
    Acknowledgement

    The researcher would firstly like to thank God for giving her the strength to
    complete this School Based Assessment with her group members.

    The researcher would then like to thank her parents for staying up with her at
    nights and for supporting her financially throughout the project. Also all the group
    members for cooperating, helping to analyze and gather information.

    Lastly the researcher would like to thank her subject teacher for explaining each

    Plan of Investigation

     Why did the researcher choose this topic?


     What are the expected benefits to the researchers as students of English?
     How does the researchers intend to collect relevant information on the
    topic and use it in presentation.

    The researcher chose this topic about child abuse in Geogretown because it is
    one of the most wrong and disturbing yet over looked issue. The effects of
    child abuse are long lasting. While some children would become better parents
    because of their experience, others maybe damaged emotionally and
    physically. Which is why the researcher would like to surface the reasons for
    child abuse and suggest ways in which child abuse can be prevented.

    By doing this investigation the researcher will be able to understand the


    published works, learn to balance collaborative and individual work and
    determine an area of interest. This exposure to research will help the
    individual in becoming a successful researcher in the future for other School
    Based Assessments.

    The researcher intends to collect (3) pieces of data. The researcher would
    go on to the internet and collect data in two forms Print and visual. She would
    got to the Child Protection Agency and record a representative concerning the
    topic.
    Reflection

    First Entry

    The information gathered has inspired the researcher to find solutions or


    measures that could be put into place to help prevent or stop child abuse on
    the whole.

    The findings affected the researcher knowing that innocent children are
    being taken advantage of by their loved ones or sometimes strangers

    However, the statistics is what really impacted the researcher. The


    information showed that numerous of children all over the Guyana , and at a
    broader point of view, all over the world has suffered from child abuse and its
    long term effects.

    Second entry

    The language used in the print and audio was formal but simplified. For the
    audio , their choice of words and abilty to explain helped the researcher to
    understand clearly.

    The print was a little more indept and technical. It helped the researcher to
    understand the history of child abuse and what supposedly triggers individuals
    to abuse and take advantage of children.

    Third entry

    The investigation on this topic helped the researchers to understand why


    some children act out. hence, it made the researches change their attitudes and
    approach towards children acting out especially if they show signs of being
    abused.It also taught the researchers to be cautious and pay keen attention to
    strangers and close ones that might be predators. The researchers also
    understand that they must be sympathetic with children.

    Hence, it helped the researchers to be more understanding and better persons.


    Written Report
    The SBA started with our teacher explained the different sections of the
    SBA. Once we fully understood this our group members selected our topic ‘Child
    Abuse’.

    The researchers then did individual research to get the three pieces of
    evidence ; Print , Audio and visual. We then analyzed the pieces of data and made
    it suitable for presentation.

    The print informed us that professional inquiry into Child Abuse begun in
    1960. In 1962 a paper entitled “The Battered Child – Syndrome” written by
    pediatric C.Henry Kempe and published in the journal of The American Medical
    Association , helped to raise alarm and awareness of Child Abuse. Child abuse is
    described as the sexual / psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or
    children especially by a parent or a caregiver. They further went pn to explain the
    types of abuses, the effects of most of the types were ; depression , self guilt,
    flash backs, and post traumatic stress. It also causes developmental problems and
    the mistreated child may grow to be abusive adults.

    Four pictures were collected for the visual. There was an image of a boy
    with an eye that is black and blue, showing physical abuse. A girl covering her ears
    and crying while her father beats her mother , showing physiological abuse and
    physical abuse to the mother. There was a picture of another boy with a swollen
    law and eye, also showed an man assumedly the father placing his hands on a
    little girl’s breast with the wrist of his other hand folded while the mother is
    forced to watch. This shows physiological and physical abuse to both mother and
    daughter and sexual abuse to the daughter.

    The audio was a recording of one of the researchers asking an employee of


    the Child protection Agency , the welfare department , about child abuse. Their
    definition was similar to that of the print but they additionally said that a child can
    be abused by a stranger too and not just persons close to them. They also
    informed us that persons should report any acts of child abuse so that the child
    could be protected and actions would be taken to ensure the well being of the
    child. They further went on to tell us that they placed ads on most of social media
    to ensure that persons know that child abuse is a serious offence and to make
    them more vigilant

    From this investigation our writing, analyzing and reading skills were
    improved. Our knowledge on Child Abuse was widened which caused us to
    become more aware of children and how they are treated.
    Oral presentation

    You never told me I was perfect

    Only bruises, insults and a shattered dream

    I was forced to accept your neglect

    My worth was zero or so it seemed

    My jovial behaviour was a mere cover up

    Maybe I just wanted someone to notice me

    Once I drifted to the wild side I just couldn’t stop

    You said it was love but it hurt, how could this be ?

    You denied me my rights as a child

    My mind was so confused

    All the things you did to me were so vile

    I never understood that I was really abused

    Now that I’ve found the courage to speak

    You have chosen to deny me

    Nut I’m thankful I’m no longer weak

    Thanks to therapy I can be happy and free!


    Recommendations

     Children should be educated about child abuse at home and at


    school to make them more aware of the persons around them.

     Children who suffer from the long term effects of child abuse may
    need therapy to be reminded that what happened is not their
    fault and to deal with it.

     The persons who does the act of abusing a child should be


    punished by the law if they suffer from mental health, placed into
    a rehabilitation center for treatment.

     The persons that abuse the child should also be given therapy.
    Conclusion

    In conclusion , child abuse is when a child is being mistreated by close ones


    or strangers and these children suffer long term effects.

    It is important to remind the public that acts of child abuse are serious
    threats to a child’s healthy development and that overt violence toward children.
    Also that persistent lack of attention to their care and supervision are
    unacceptable. Individuals have the ability to accept personal responsibility for
    reducing the acts of child abuse by providing support to each other and offering
    protection to all children within their family and community.
