ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN TREATING BATTERED CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS IS FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM; THE PARENTS ARE LOATH TO TALK OF IT OR THEY DISSEMBLE, AND THE CHILD IS TOO YOUNG TO SPEAK.
Abstract
EVEN IF THE CASE IS RECOGNIZED AS BONA FIDE CHILD ABUSE, A SUPERVISION OR CARE ORDER MUST BE MADE IN ORDER TO ASSURE TREATMENT. MOST PARENTS WILL NOT SEEK HELP VOLUNTARILY.
