Track: Child Abuse

Sub-Track:
Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver causes injury, death, emotional damage or a risk of serious harm to a child, whether by action or failure to act. Neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, coercion and emotional abuse are just a few examples of the various ways that children can be harmed.
A study on global child violence by the World Health
Organization noted that schools have been closed to 1.5 billion children
worldwide due to the pandemic, and their parents face increased stress and anxiety from lost income, social isolation, and possible home
crowding. In addition, more time online will expose kids to an increased risk
of sexual harassment or bullying online.
