Identify and explain the various negative effects experienced by victims of child abuse.
The impact of abuse on children is profound, as it can touch almost every aspect of children's lives and can continue well into adulthood.Abuse can have impacts on child development, which in turn have impacts on their educational performance.Abused children may behave inappropriately with other children.This can continue into adulthood, as abused individuals make poor choices about the people with whom they choose to spend time and develop personal relationships.Many children develop drug and alcohol problems, which also can continue into adulthood.These problems can lead to health issues, both physically and mentally.Children who are abused are more likely to get involved in behaviors such as truancy, running away, and committing more serious crimes.These can escalate into an adult criminal career if not addressed.Physical results from abuse can range from unwanted pregnancies to sexually transmitted diseases.Another concern is the continuation of the abuse, and a creation of intergenerational violence, as grown children repeat the victimization they experienced by inflicting it upon their own children.
