Child abuse, in its many forms, continues to be a worldwide problem. Drug and alcohol use, religious and cultural practices, failing social programs, poverty and a lack of parenting skills all contribute to this devastating crisis. This book explores the depth of the problem, examines the causative factors, and offers solutions to eliminate abuse and neglect.

Review:

"Collection of twenty essays that discuss issues of child neglect and abuse. This book has many statistics and real stories from people who were abused as children. Gives descriptions of many situations that could happen in anyone's home. Includes the causes and consequences, child welfare, and sexual abuse in the church. A good research source."
