Child Abuse - Physical and Social Consequences


            This paper is an analysis of two documents on child abuse and their physical and social effects. The first document focuses on adults who have reported being abused as a child and some of the consequences that come with the abuse, like suffering from a mental disorder in the long run. The second document focuses on children who have been physically abused and their social relationships with other people. This study examines children who have been abused and the way they act around their peers in a classroom setting and how their classmates view them.
             The first paper, Child Abuse: Physical and Social Effects, is an analysis on how child abuse affects those people who have been abused physically and socially. Any child for any reason can be a victim at any time. Child abuse can be any type of physical or emotional harm. Luisa Sugaya, Deborah S. Hasin, Mark Olfson, Keng-han Lin, Bridget F. Grant, and Carlos Blanco (2012) hosted a survey through NESARC (National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions) that was conducted in two waves: 2001-2002 and 2004-2005. The people who were chosen to take the survey were sample individuals from different genders and races between the ages of 18 and 24 years old. These individuals were asked questions about their parents, their childhood and what type of abuse they experienced. A result of eight percent of the people who took the survey reported being physically abused as a child, more females than males. Some of the abuse they reported was sexual abuse. Most of individuals also reported having at least one disorder caused by the abuse. The flaws this study has is that the questions in the survey should have been more specific with their answer choices. For example, they should have added to the answer choices how many times a day they were being abused. They also could add where they received the abused like in the head, neck, arm, leg, etc.
