Neglect and Maltreatment

Oh, hi.

My name is Lizzie, and I did it on neglect

and mild treatment.

Um, um, given infants given threats of infant, um, but

neglect, neglect and maltreatment.

Um, usually, these Children have no emotional or physical support

at all.

They are abused and ignored.

Um, sometimes just left alone for hours.

And infants and Children.

Um, they just cry and cry and cry.

You know, one takes care of them.

Um, they often have long term mental health problems if

it's not ever taken care off.

Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of people's aren't taking

care of a lot of parents.

Just leave it up on the rug because they don't

wanna have that truth out there or even have it.

Don't want to believe it.

Um, on then, a lot of your Children have problems

either connecting with others or they also just overshare like

when they're at school.

They, like, just are so affectionate to other people.

Um, who is at risk?

Infants are arrest, along with Children of all ages, from

neglect and maltreatment.

Um, at all Children are especially Children that can't take

care of themselves.

Yet, Um, even teenagers are they cannot be getting that

emotional or physical support from their parents, which could be

a really big problem for them in the future.

Um, there are three million cases off child abuse and

neglect. 5.5 million Children are reported each year.

So out of 5.5 million Children that are reported for

a child, our child neglect or abuse three million cases

of them, they're only make three million cases.

So all of those other Children are not.

And this makes a good point with the coronavirus going

on when they shut down the school.

Ah, lot of the Children's Onley mean toe access or,

um, resource is, um, nutrition is their schooling.

And, um, I know that some schools did like the

like. They dropped off lunches or whatever, and that's awesome.

But also, they aren't getting the emotional and physical support

that they could get from teachers or friends that they

could get from school, which might cause bigger problems, bigger

health problems than we think it could.

Um, prevention.

Okay, okay.

Communication. If you think that your child is abused or

being abused by someone, communication, if you will just have

an open role of communication with your child anyways.

And if you are involved with your lives like very,

very, very involved, always watching you can kind of see,

like, even changes are the way that they're with act

towards certain people.

Um, like grand parents, or even like a baby sitter

or dad, like, really anyone?

Um, also, I feel like it could be prevented if

we had better things for parents.

Ah, lot of them are stressed.

A lot of them can't cope with their Children.

They don't know how to cope with their stress, so

they take it out on their Children.

Um, that's not fair.

And Children.

So I think that if we had away free therapy

for, um people so they can learn how toe deal

with their stress and their anger.

So they're not projecting it onto their Children.

Um, they don't know how to cope with their emotions

that are bad without so they put it on their

kids. And that's not teaching their kids either how to

cope. So you're just repeating the cycle, repeating the cycle,

and especially if you're doing that to your Children and

no one's picking up on it.

Those Children are probably going to have years and years

and years of untreated mental health problems if it ever,

ever, ever gets treated.

Um, yeah, not with all of them.

Um, treatment.

I think therapy is very, very, very, very, very useful.

Um, I think that all teenagers should go to therapy.

Um, there's a lot going on in the world.

The world is a messed up place.

I think that everyone could benefit for it, but I

think that kids could thio.

So I think that if you think your child is

being abused that you should call your pediatrician right away.

You should get him in there.

They can check him out in.

Your pediatrician could make the best course of treatment for

him. Like, Oh, I think you should go to therapy

or him or her.

I think you should go to therapy.

I think you know what I mean.

Like, there's lots of different treatment, but the doctor will

be able to tell you which one's best.

I personally like therapy, but even just having communication with

your Children can help them open up in hell.

Um, it actually said that you are the best.

The best healing for your child.

So, like if someone else's of using them, you, the

parents are the best comfort for them to help them

heal. I thought that was really cool, and it sucks.

It mean we sad because it sucks that a lot

of Children don't have that at home.

If they're being abused from their parents, they should be

there safe place in that unfortunate, um, outcomes.

Many Children who have been neglected and maltreated suffer from,

um, mental and physical pain abusers, denied Children and tools

that they need to cope with Stress also denies them

the tools to be successful and strong.

Like I said before, Um, if we don't, if the

parents don't know how to cope and they're just projecting

it, then the Children are probably going to pick up

on that and keep doing the same thing.

Um, Children will have lack of self worth for years

and years and years if they don't get that attention

and the just the stuff that Children need and everyday

life to grow and be happy and locked.

Um, if it's not, they could turn the drug and

alcohol. They could be become suicidal and depressed.

Um I'm sorry.

Keep starting.

I'm nervous about, um Uh huh, Yeah, so it just

it just if it's untreated, a lot of other things

could happen.

And mhm and society's awareness.

So ah, lot of people know about the documentary of

group Gabriel Hernandez.

Um, the amount of abuse and neglect he suffered and

no one, no one helped.

And it was just That is a good way, I

think, to get society's awareness.

I think it was raised a lot of awareness for

it. Also, like social media broadcasting, there's a lot like

podcast now, Podcast podcast are a great thing.

I like to listen to podcast in the car.

They could make that, um, just like a lot of

things like that.

A lot of people use social media nowadays.

It's always out there, Um, especially kids.

You know, um, that's a great, great way.

Um, one of the things I felt was the most

interesting and everybody on Capitol letters right here.

Is that the close of the child's relationship that the

abuser, the more damage that it causes?

I think that really stood out for me because that

is so sad that, like someone that you rely on

and care for Does this thio and hurt you and

traumatize you?

Um, prevention and treatment.

Personally, I think that prevention and treatment can change a

lot. Um, I think that there is a stigma on

therapy. I think that people think that if you go

to therapy that, like, something's wrong with you, like you're

crazy and that's not sometimes you just need to go

and talk about your feelings and let things out.

I think that it's a great way Thio help you

grow mentally and physically.

Um, especially because from a lot of abusers, you are

not going thio get, um, a Sorry.

So you need Thio go to therapy and he'll and

as soon as the Yes, A lot of people don't

want to take their Children to go get help because

they don't want to face the truth that someone could

be abusing their child or that, you know, And obviously,

if the parent is abusing their child, they're not gonna

go take him to go get help.

Um, and if they don't have any family members, that's

a problem.

Um, so I just think that everyone should be on

their towels.

Obviously, you know, like school teachers, like school teachers.

They should be able to tell like this.

Kids, like not getting enough like he's look so skinny.

Um, and I think that everyone is responsible for looking

out for these kids, and I Lastly, I just want

to share some changes that you could tell if the

child might be being might be getting abused.

So these are like signs and symptoms.

Um, feel fearful behaviors.

Like if they have nightmares, um, abdomen, abdominal pain, if

they're bedwetting.

Or like, a lot of kids, like they're like, Oh,

my stomach hurts And it's actually really anxiety.

So I thought that it was interesting and they just

don't know like him.

They don't really know what anxiety is.

They don't know the butterflies like, Oh, my stomach hurts.

Um, headaches and tummy aches.

Um, abnormal fears, school failures, extreme aggression.

Desperately, desperately affectionate school.

Um um, physical signs.

You know, any bruises and a broken bones failure to

gain weight.

Um, general painter bleeding like in young young young Children.

I know that's more like sex sexual abuse, but, you

know, still think it's important to look out for those

signs, especially if you are like a caretaker of these

Children because you might be the only one outside of

their parents to see them like a baby sitter or

ah, friend.

Um, yeah, And then lastly, um, I got all of

my citation off of this all of my work.

All of this information that I put on here off

of this healthy Children's Dot or ge, Um, I had

such great information on it, and I did look at

a couple other ones and plenty other information.

Just, like, look and see if, like, they all had

the same information, like, sort of.

And it did.

But everything I used in this presentation was on, um,

that's website.

Um, yeah.
