A Biblical Response on Child Abuse



             • Forcing a child to work in poor working conditions, or in work that is inappropriate for a child's age, over a long period of time.
             • Gang violence.
             • Harmful initiation ceremonies.
             • Bullying.
             • Threatening to harm someone.
             Signs of Physical Child Abuse.
             Physical signs. Sometimes physical abuse has clear warning signs, such as unexplained bruises, welts, or cuts. While all children will take a tumble now and then, look for age-inappropriate injuries, injuries that appear to have a pattern such as marks from a hand or belt, or a pattern of severe injuries. Behavioral signs. Other times, signs of physical abuse may be more subtle. The child may be fearful, shy away from touch or appear to be afraid to go home. A child's clothing may be inappropriate for the weather, such as heavy, long sleeved pants and shirts on hot days. Caregiver signs. Physically abusive caregivers may display anger management issues and excessive need for control. Their explanation of the injury might not ring true, or may be different from an older child's description of the injury.
             2. Emotional.
             Emotional Abuse is a pattern of behavior that impairs a child's emotional development or sense of self-worth. Emotional abuse is often difficult to prove and, therefore, Child Protection System(CPS) may not be able to intervene without evidence of harm to the child. Emotional abuse is almost always present when other forms are identified. Physical abuse includes but is not limited to the following:.
             • Isolating or excluding a child.
             • Stigmatizing a child.
             • Withholding love, support, or guidance.
             • Treating a child who is a victim as a suspect (repeated questioning and investigation).
             • Failing to provide a supportive environment.
             • Failing to give a child an appropriate sense of self (for example, criticizing weight).
             • Main caregiver(s) does not respond to a child's emotional needs.
