Child abuse prevention takes a quantum leap forward. There is an interesting theory today from a researcher in Montreal that is a big step in child abuse prevention. He thinks one of the best ways to prevent child abuse is through directly going to the community for awareness and support, not directly the parents.
Combating mistreatment of children is more effective at the grassroots level, not in the family. Things like summer camps for high-risk kids are absolutely critical in combating child abuse than family education programs.
Most child abuse, because of the reporting system, is pushed toward thinking the best thing to do is involve the authorities. Reporting has to happen, but what comes with that often is turning our backs on the problem. There’s not much the authorities can do without support from the community. Fascinating.
