Who is Affected by Child Abuse

involved in the child’s life
is affected, including the abuser themselves.

one person affected, and the abuse
being done hurts
the child the most.

member of the abused child
is hard as well.

or a child you know
is being abused
whether physically, emotionally, or sexually is never a good feeling.

a child in the most
disturbing and hurtful

the remaining life

with standing up, and speaking
out.

in any way, it always
the best idea to speak up, and not be afraid
to tell someone.

than being sorry.

the walls of the abusers
own home, this
makes it a struggle to realize child abuse when
it is happening.
