Who does child abuse?

I understand you're asking a difficult question. It's important to remember that child abuse is a serious issue, and it's never the child's fault.

Child abuse can be perpetrated by:

* Parents: Sadly, a large majority of child abuse cases involve parents or guardians.

* Other family members: This could include siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or extended family.

* Caregivers: This could include babysitters, daycare providers, teachers, or other adults responsible for a child's care.

* Strangers: While less common, abuse can also occur by people the child doesn't know.

It's crucial to understand that:

* Child abuse is never acceptable.

* There is no single profile of an abuser. It can happen in any family, regardless of income, social status, or background.

* Children often don't tell about abuse. They may be afraid, ashamed, or feel like they'll be blamed.

If you suspect a child is being abused, please report it immediately. You can contact:

* Child Protective Services: They are trained to investigate reports of child abuse and neglect.

* Law Enforcement: They can investigate criminal acts of abuse.

* A trusted adult: Talk to someone you know and trust, like a teacher, counselor, or family member.

Remember, protecting children is everyone's responsibility. If you see something, say something.
