another type of abuse in hostile home environments

Searching Google once again using what Mr. Malley thought us about researching using "" I came across more important sites about child abuse. Help guide.org thought me that there is another type of abuse. This type of is abuse is neglect. Neglect is the failure to provide to a child's basic needs and it may effect a child's physical or mental well being. There are 3 types of neglect : Educational, physical and emotional. An example of educational neglect is when a parent fails to enroll a child in school or permits the child to miss many days of school. An example of physical neglect is reckless disregard of child's safety or not feeding a child properly or providing clothing or hygiene. emotional neglect is failure to intervene when the child demonstrates antisocial behavior or allow a child to use alcohol or any type of drugs. There are many signs that show that a child is being neglected. Such as dirty clothing , raged or not suitable for the weather. Bad Body Odor,infections in cuts as well as body rashes are more signs("child abuse and neglect"1). This site thought me something that I didn't know. Shaken baby syndrome is a type of abuse involving babies. This syndrome is when a caregiver gets frustrated and shakes the baby roughly to make the baby stop crying. The babies neck is not strong enough to support this so the babies brain moves around in the skull suffering damage and can even cause death("child abuse and neglect"1). This is very important information to me. I say this bacause my mom ojust had twin girls the other day and I never knew a baby could be hurt that way. I can also educate my sister on this syndrome so she wont make a mistake and do the same. Helpguide.org Also gave answers to my essential question. You can help a child suffering from a hostile home environment by reporting to school personnel,Social workers,health care workers,mental health personnel or even law enforcement personnel.
