My discussion of child abuse in Chicago is in fact addressing the larger matter of many other places around the U.S that have being affected by children who are being abused.Introducing many issues which can affect the future of new generations according to the article of Child Abuse- The Hidden Bruises it mentions that after these children had being abused in some type of way they are left with the emotional trauma and it affects their lives at the long term. This is critical because it not only harms them in the moment they are being abuse, but also as time passes it still has a type of harmed in this children thru the rest of their lives. Having to deal with kids that have gone thru this situations has being a hard journey since these kids would always remember what happened to them. These abuse on children needs to stop in order for these kids to have a bright future.
To think globally and act locally means that even thought you are concern of children being abuse all around the world the action that you are taking part of is only in your local community that is closer to you. There is many people who would do both things to help these children. For instance, in the organization of Preventing and Treating Child maltreatment it is shown that they have a crisis line in which they offered anyone who knows if someone is being abuse such as kids to help them out and call in their local area. This means that the website in which this article is found, it offers the help to everyone. These call line is for someone who feels they need to talk or want to stop any type of abuse they are facing or know someone who is.
Although child abuse may seem trivial, it is in fact crucial in terms of today’s concern over their safety and lives in Chicago. Dealing with children being abuse in the area of Chicago has being broadcast as a concern to their families. Not only the children are affected because of the scars that they have of the abuse, but also their families. Mentioned in the article of the Chicago Sun-Times and the WBEZ it is said that illinois is losing more kids to child abuse and neglect than at any time in the past 30 years - and more kids are dying despite being watched by state child-welfare officials. This special report shows how the cases of child abuse are increasing.
Having to hear or read the words of someone saying that children are being loss more from child abuse than any other thing is scary. Although child abuse may seem concern to a small group of people it should in fact be concerned anyone who cares about children. No one would want their own children to go thru any type of maltreatment that’s why everyone should be able to help. For instance in the Sun-Times/WBEZ statistics it shows that there is a recent increase of children who were abuse in the year of 20123 since in the year of 2012 there was only 90 deaths from children being abused when in 2013 it increased to 111 deaths. This supports the idea of how children who are being abused is increasing at a fast rate.
In conclusion, children who are being abused have a higher risk in the future to have problems if they don’t get the help they need to overpass that obstacle. If the local communities don’t start making changes in their protection than the death rates of abused children would keep increasing.
