I was researching and i found out that one child dies every week in England and Wales from abuse! when i read this i was quite shocked. it maid me think because I here about all these murders and kidnapping that happen in the UK. But then i heard a news report that n some kids in the UK dont enjoy living there because of abuse and murders the kids are scared to stay in there own homes but are also scared to go out side.h



As I have been researching I found some explanations of different types of abuse.

Physical: when an parent/guardian or other adult injures a child on purpose. it is also when an adult gives a child alcohol or drugs on purpose.

Emotional:Is when an adult doesn't show that they care for a child so the often yell and criticise the child which can leave kids afraid of they're own parents.

Neglect:neglect is when an adult doesn't look after a child. as in they don't take care of a child's food or medical needs witch can often Leeds to the child's death.

I was reading an article on the website shown below as i was reading i found out about a 8 year old boy named Raijon Daniels who was killed by his own mother last October. I wounder how a mother could kill her own son after living with him for 8 years. the article said the young boy had been tortured and no one had taken any notice to it until he had died. I thought about how if i was hi teacher and i saw him coming to school with bruises or cuts i would try to find out what was happening why he had injorys wouldn't you?
