Technology-Based Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Programs: A Systematic Review

Child abuse and neglect is a widespread social problem. The prevalence of this problem threatens the present and future of children. Although various prevention programs have been proposed in the literature as a solution to the problem of child abuse and neglect, recently, technological applications have been increasingly used in prevention and intervention studies for abuse and neglect. This study aims to review the current literature on technologically assisted programs for preventing child abuse and neglect. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was used to identify eligible studies. 22 evidence-based studies with pretest-posttest control were included in the review. The reviewed programs were structured to educate parents, children, and various professionals on appropriate parenting skills and child abuse and neglect. In the studies reviewed, web/internet-based applications were mostly used and effectiveness evaluation studies were mainly conducted on parents. With the exception of one study, the programs were found to be effective following interventions for abuse and neglect, and cognitive and behavioral improvements were noted in parents, children, and other professionals. As a result, it can be said that technology-based prevention programs are accepted practices for child abuse and neglect. To date, however, there is little data to support the use of such studies in preventive practices and strategies. More studies are needed to test the effectiveness of technological applications in preventing abuse among children and adolescents.

An in-depth investigation of the widespread effects of child abuse on development and wellbeing

The problem of child abuse is an everywhere phenomenon throughout the world that leads to the most detrimental effects on the children in the question of their development and general health. This article makes an effort to convey the complexity of child abuse by focusing on its physical-emotional-sexual-neglect dimensions. The World Health Organization's exhaustive definition of the concept furnishes the basis for the acknowledgement of the injuries that one person can suffer from the relationships based on care, authority, or dependency. Approximately 40 million children around the world were abused last year regardless of whether they were wealthier, belonged to a particular culture or were badly educated. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child features childhood its age from the moment of birth until 18 years recognizing the fact that individuals at this age have specific vulnerabilities which are inherently tied to their dependence on others. The session next proceeds into addressing child abuse, with its different dynamics and levels of complexity. Brief description of different kinds of mistreatment including violence, sexual, emotional, and neglect specifying the urgent necessity to eliminate sexual abuse – especially the already existing one-in-ten girls globally. The consequences of child maltreatment on behavioral development throughout the various periods, including infant period through adolescence are considered. Stages of the syndicated approach will shed the light on the particular difficulties and bad results, promoting the application of the relevant measures. Issues concerning common behavioral signals include but are not limited to difficulty in identifying the signs and the importance of being able to sign them, which pays a big role in fighting the issue of abuse. Finally, the paper states that the world's dedication should never fail if our intentions are to end abuse among children. The main reason why every child ought to be ensured of a safe environment so that they can all flourish is that the diverse types of child abuse and the long-lasting impacts on the development of behavior need to be addressed in their entirety.

The type of COVID-19 infectious disease has brought many changes to daily life through strong quarantine policies. Especially, as face-to-face activities were limited, the time spent at home increased, which led to a problem of increasing crimes occurring within the home. In particular, child abuse cases increased by 21.67% compared to the previous year to 37,605 cases in 2021, demonstrating the seriousness of the child abuse problem in the pandemic situation. This study aims to identify current issues on child abuse at the point of transition to an endemic and propose alternatives. To achieve the purpose of the study, a theoretical framework was reviewed based on prior research. The data collected were media materials from 2019, before the outbreak of the coronavirus, to 2022, when face-to-face education was conducted. Based on the collected data, we attempted to identify current issues by dividing the point of view into before, during, and after the COVID-19 infectious disease. For the analysis of the study, TEXTOM was used, and N-gram analysis was conducted to check the frequency of words and the prevalence of associated words to derive key subject words and main keywords, and CONCOR analysis was conducted to confirm the discourse implicit in the document. Based on the analysis of news articles, it was confirmed that the main issues related to child abuse were related to response, prevention, and protection.

ANNE ENRIGHT'IN TOPLANTI ROMANINDA KAYBA ÖZGÜ ACI KAVRAMI

Anne Enright’s The Gathering (2007) is based on the painful testimony of the protagonist-narrator Veronica Hegarty, who tries to cope with the traumatic childhood memories of her brother’s being a victim of abuse and his tragic suicide. Veronica’s fragmented narrative reflects a de-ontologised subjectivity which is disrupted by the affect of grief. By referring to Jean-Luc Nancy’s and Eugenie Brinkema’s theoretical discussions on writing, subjectivity and grief, this article argues that Veronica’s writing process is non-therapeutic and her mourning process is undialectical because her intense biological experience of grief fails linguistic signification and reveals that writing cannot access the truth of the body. The affect of grief represented as biological experiences in Veronica’s mourning process is closely connected to the peculiar painfulness of loss Freud underlines, but leaves unexplained, in his discussion of mourning and melancholia. Freud writes about a physical pain rather than a mental pain that is experienced at the loss of a loved object. In the novel, the portrayal of the biological aspect of loss with an emphasis on the concept of peculiar painfulness also contributes to the understanding of the contemporary approach to loss with its productive attributes. The depiction of Veronica’s peculiar pain aims to urge Irish society to follow a course of action on the problem of child abuse with political awareness and ethical responsibilities.

Digital games and virtual reality applications in child abuse: A scoping review and conceptual framework

Child abuse refers to any form of maltreatment, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect that occurs to children under 18 years of age. Digital games and virtual reality (VR) can be used as beneficial solutions for dealing with child maltreatment concerns. This study aimed to present a conceptual framework for showing the applications of these technologies in managing child abuse. The framework is developed in two stages: (1) a scoping review to gather digital games and VR applications for child abuse issues through the search in PubMed, Ovid (APA PsycInfo), Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and grey literature and (2) developing a conceptual framework based on the review results and validating it by 12 experts. The proposed conceptual framework shows that digital games and VR have been used for six main topics: (1) medical education, (2) prevention, (3) screening, (4) diagnosis, (5) treatment, and (6) forensic medicine in response to child abuse issues. Studies have more focused on child sexual abuse prevention, behavioral monitoring of sexual offenders in forensic medicine, and knowledge or performance assessment of students in medical education. Serious games (SGs), computer simulation, and immersive VR were common technologies for children, students, and forensic medicine, respectively. The experts believe the combination of immersive features of VR with SGs can further encourage user engagement. It appears that digital games and VR can play a positive role in child abuse management. Given the extensive capabilities of these technologies, further studies are needed to show all their potential applications for child abuse problems.

Still unseen and ignored: Tracking community knowledge and attitudes about child abuse and child protection in Australia.

In September 2003, we released the first results of a national community attitude tracking study about child abuse and child protection. At that time, we concluded that as a community, violence against children was tolerated. The community did not understand or appreciate the seriousness, size and cost of child abuse in Australia. There was evidence that child abuse was not viewed as an important challenge facing children in Australia. A second study conducted in 2006 found that nothing much had changed, indeed community engagement with the issue of child abuse may have even deteriorated. A third study in 2010 found that the community actively avoids the problem of child abuse rating it less concerning than high petrol prices. In 2021, 18 years after the first report was published, we have concluded again that child abuse remains out of sight and out of mind as a community concern. This article describes the findings of this fourth iteration of our survey and analyses the implications for ensuring that individuals are more engaged and committed to taking action to preventing child abuse and/or protecting children from violation.

Theorising about child maltreatment: Narrative review on health education models, conceptual frameworks and the importance of the information and communication technologies.

Child maltreatment is conceived as a public health problem. Therefore, it is appropriate to analyse the explanatory models that deal with this behaviour, reflecting these postulates within the panorama of health education, which makes health professionals responsible for taking action. In order to do this, the theoretical context and the awareness of nursing students in relation to these theories must be analysed. In turn, the use of information and communication technologies in this field should be valued, due to their capacity to manage and systematise information, becoming a relevant tool when training future nursing professionals. Without forgetting that health informatics is a spectrum of multidisciplinary fields that includes the study of the design, development and application of computational techniques to improve healthcare. A review of the scientific literature was carried out, for which primary and secondary sources were consulted, tracing a search for data thanks to the keywords: ‘nursing’; ‘abuse’; ‘children’; ‘education’ and ‘theory’. During the second half of the 20th century, several health paradigms have been developed, which present different pathways to health education. There have also been three generations of theoretical models that attempt to analyse the public health problem of child maltreatment. This reflects the need for a transdisciplinary approach to child abuse, where there is no one explanatory model that is more appropriate than another, but where the choice of the health education paradigm and, within this, the most recommendable theory will depend on each situation.

Alleviation of Child Abuse as a Religious Duty

In Kenya, cultural practices have idiomatically remained a big thorn in the flesh among the various pastoral communities of Kenya. These pastoralist regions have remained traditionally undeveloped areas; either by design or by default. Such areas have posed a major challenge to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 5 globally, as well as in Kenya. This research article sets out to investigate the role of the Catholic Church in alleviating Child abuse in Kajiado County, which is directly addressing SDG No. 5, which requires the “Elimination of all harmful practices, such as child [abuse], early and forced marriages and female genital mutilation.” Specifically, the research article evaluates the Catholic Church's social teachings and activities which enhance the alleviation of child abuse in Kajiado County. Besides identifying the challenges faced by the Catholic Church, it equally assesses the strategies adopted by the said Church in order to overcome this enigmatic problem of child abuse. This research article is set on the premise that the failure to eradicate child abuse will lead to the continuous psychological, emotional, physical and poor developmental growth of children, hence failing to attain SDG No. 5. The research article is justified by the need to respond to the alarming reports by media, opinion leaders and members of the community concerning the prevalence of child abuse amongst the Maasai communities in Kenya. For good results, this research article has adopted a descriptive survey design in order to collect in-depth data from a diversified sample of respondents who represent the whole Kajiado County population. Simple random and purposive sampling methods were used to choose a sample size of a number of respondents. At the end of the research article it has been revealed that the Catholic Church has social teachings on caring, creating a safe environment for children and ably demands integrity from the assigned the care-givers. Although it was an uphill task and a major challenge in reporting and investigating cases of child abuse, due to some cultural restrictions, the Church has adopted measures such as forming the Diocesan children and youth departments, which helps in formulating policies and advises their respective Church committees on appropriate measures to be taken on child protection. It is finally recommended that the civil authorities and the Sub-County Children Department could protect victims of abuse through giving proper information on the children rights and also by speedily liaising with the authorities in arresting child abusers.

Collaborative Governance Dalam Perlindungan Anak di Kota Batam Tahun 2020

The problem of child abuse is a problem that occurs every year. For this reason, the problem of child abuse cannot be handled by one institution only so that the government and other institutions collaborate. This research aims to find out the processes and factors inhibiting Collaborative Governance in child protection at Batam city in 2020. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the data sources used are primary and secondary data, where the data collection uses observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data that has been analyzed using measures including data reduction, presentation of data and withdrawal of conclusions. In this Collaborative Governance study, researchers used the theory of Ansell and Gash. The results of this study show that the collaborative process runs quite well by looking at the indicators of face-to-face dialogue conducted with coordination meetings that are quite often carried out by actors, on indicators of trust building with the intensity of communication established, on indicators of commitment to the process with the interrelationship of tasks and functions of actors, on indicators of share understanding with responsibility with their respective tasks and functions, and on indicators of Intermediated Outcomes results facilitate in child protection, the increase in the intensity of communication, and changes in the behavior of government agencies. But the inhibiting factors in the protection of children are still lack of socialization, lack of community participation, and difficulty getting information.

Child Maltreatment and Medical Fragility: Fatalities in the First Year of Life

In this month’s Pediatrics, Schneiderman et al examine infant deaths for medical causes among infants previously reported to child protective services.1 Using probabilistically linked birth records, child protective service records, and death records, the authors examined risk of death through the first year of life. Their analyses controlled for sex, race and ethnicity, maternal age, early prenatal care, insurance status, birth weight, and prematurity. Infants reported for maltreatment had an almost twofold increase in risk of for any medical cause of death.Are infants with serious medical conditions at higher risk for maltreatment or is maltreatment more likely to be detected among those with serious medical conditions? An increased risk for death would follow from prematurity, congenital abnormalities, or intrauterine exposure to infection.2 Children with these conditions likely require careful and more frequent medical encounters. Missed appointments and lack of follow-through on medications and treatment may be life-threatening. Medical teams caring for chronically ill infants are often sources of reports for neglect for infants whose caregivers fail to keep scheduled appointments, accept referrals, or take prescribed medications. Furthermore, the increased frequency of medical visits over the first year of life for ill children may also increase detection of sentinel injuries.3 Maltreatment may also be increased beyond failures in following medical care recommendations. Infants with chronic disease can contribute to financial and emotional stresses on their parents. Ill infants may be less capable of the responsiveness that helps create a strong bond between parent and child.4 Infants with chronic conditions may have high-pitched cries or disordered sleep patterns that add to parental stress. It therefore follows that infants with medical conditions are both at higher risk of maltreatment and more likely to be reported.The data from Schneiderman et al reveal that the outcome for infant medical conditions is dramatically altered by the family situation. Importantly, infants reported to child protective services and placed in foster care had the risk of mortality decreased by half. In the unadjusted analysis, the youngest mothers (<20 years old) had a 34% increase in the risk of infant mortality compared with older mothers. Poverty increases the risk for abuse and neglect.5 Young parents, with less schooling and fewer years in the workforce, are at an additional economic disadvantage. Poverty impacts survival of children with chronic medical conditions because poor families have increased exposure to risky environments and decreased access to health services.6Interventions to address this additional risk of mortality must be multifaceted.7 These interventions include paid parental leave, increased minimum wage, paid earned income tax credits, and access to long-acting reversible contraceptives for teenagers to prevent unwanted pregnancies.8 Many of these approaches address poverty directly. Community engagement programs such as Strong Communities9 reduce child maltreatment by giving visibility to the problem of child abuse and broadly engaging community members and medical practices in programs to support new parents. Home-visiting programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership10 for young first-time mothers enrolled prenatally and SafeCare11 for mothers of any parity with children enrolled in 20-week home-based educational program offer explicit and evidence-based support to new parents and have been shown to be successful.Additional strategies are needed after reports are made to child protective services. For example, child protective service agencies should include medical expertise in treatment planning and/or form partnerships with public health agencies to bring health expertise to judgements about the significance of missed appointments or undelivered medications.Forewarned is forearmed. Medical conditions represent a serious threat to the lives of infants reported to the child protection system. General and subspecialty pediatricians who have reported an infant for neglect or abuse or who have a reported infant in their practice must ensure continued care for the infants after a report. Child protective service professionals need to be aware of the elevated risk of death among their charges from disease and facilitate ongoing medical care.

아동학대 행위분류와 새로운 대응방안의 필요성에 관한 연구 - 아동복지법 개정을 중심으로 -

For solving a problem, we need to know what is the reason for it. We may not properly handle the problem of child abuse if we hurry up responding to it without carefully thinking about from which point we have lost the right way and redesigning how to change the route for the final destination: effective protection of abused child. There is a crime of “child abuse” and an “act” of child abuse. Sometimes we need to prosecute the parents because they committed a crime but they are often doing bad acts on their kids even if the prosecutor may not intervene with various coercive measures for stopping their abusive act. This article is written for arguing that it is time to redefine various abusive acts and to redesign the way to respond to them. We have too much focused on child abuse crime committed by the parents: the Specific Act on Punishment of Child Abuse Crime(hereinafter “the Specific Act”) was in on the center of our child protection system. However, the Specific Act was not so successive in carrying out the mission. Police officers have been hesitant about arresting the parents under the Specific Act because it would be against the victim’s interest. They could not do any thing in situation where they do not have other options for protecting the victim outside the scheme of the Specific Act. Thus, we have to revisit and rewrite the Child Welfare Act for providing with proper tools for preventing parents’maltreatment, to which the Specific Act is not applicable. This Article shows the map of redesigning how to respond to child maltreatment and proposes a possible revision of the Child Welfare Act.

Проблемы жестокого обращения с детьми

Public perceptions of child maltreatment: A national convenience sample

• Study explores public’s knowledge and perception of child maltreatment. • The study is based on national sample using an online crowd sourcing platform. • Results show society believes social programs can impact child maltreatment. • Respondents were knowledgeable about child maltreatment laws and policies. • Barriers were identified in the reporting of child maltreatment. The public view of the social problem of child abuse and neglect plays a key role in determining individuals’ willingness to report cases of child maltreatment. The present study focuses on examining current public knowledge and opinions on child maltreatment reporting. Our research also explores the factors that the public find most important in affecting and preventing child maltreatment. A public opinion survey of a diverse population of Americans regarding their knowledge, understanding, and perspectives about child maltreatment and the best methods to address this social problem. Participants and methods: The study included a convenience sample of 1080 respondents from across the United States. Surveys were administered using an online crowdsourcing platform. The public demonstrated they were generally well-informed about many aspects of child maltreatment, yet they have many concerns about reporting child maltreatment. It was evident that society believes social programs can impact child maltreatment; a majority of the sample indicated that child maltreatment can be prevented and would be in favor of making a tax donation toward child abuse prevention. The results showpublic support for more services as an opportunity to take preventative action against child abuse.
