Panel 1

Without wasting our time, my first question to our first panel, (Panel 1 name), can you mentions to us about the types of child abuse that had occurs, especially in Malaysia. (Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences) Although there are many formal and acceptable definitions of child abuse, the following is offered as a guide for information on child abuse and neglect. Child abuse consists of any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health and development. Child abuse includes any damage done to a child which cannot be reasonably explained and which is often represented by an injury or series of injuries appearing to be non-accidental in nature. There are 4 types of child abuse, it is physical, sexual, psychological and also neglect that i will explain to all of you because there are too lots actually. Forms of all this kinds of child abuse, 1. Physical abuse Any non-accidental injury to a child. This includes hitting, kicking, slapping, shaking, burning, pinching, hair pulling, biting, choking, throwing, shoving, whipping, and paddling. 2. Sexual abuse Any sexual act between an adult and child. This includes fondling, penetration, intercourse, exploitation, pornography, exhibitionism, child prostitution, group sex, oral sex, or forced observation of sexual acts.

3. Psychological abuse Psychological abuse, also referred to as emotional abuse or mental abuse, is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronicdepression, or posttraumatic stress disorder. Such abuse is often associated with situations of power imbalance, such as abusive relationships,bullying, and abuse in the workplace. 4. Neglect abuse Failure to provide for a child’s physical needs. This includes lack of supervision, inappropriate housing or shelter, inadequate provision of food and water, inappropriate clothing for season or weather, abandonment, denial of medical care and inadequate hygiene. Thank you, that all from me. Chairperson

Panel 2

(Thanks to the Panel 1.) From what of (Pane 1 named) have said. Now we knew that there are 4 types of child abuse, (mention all the forms of child abuse.) Right my next question is to (Panel 2 named). What is the factors that can cause child abuse? Can you explain its? (Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences) Research has uncovered a number of risk factors or attributes commonly associated with maltreatment. Children in families and environments where these factors exist have a higher probability of experiencing maltreatment. A greater understanding of risk factors can help professionals working with children and families identify maltreatment and high-risk situations so they can intervene appropriately. It must be emphasized, however, that while certain factors often are present among families where maltreatment occurs, this does not mean that the presence of these factors necessarily lead to child abuse and neglect. Common factors associated with increased risk of child maltreatment are often categorized as follows:  Parent or caregiver factors 

Child factors



Family factors



Community and environmental factors



Risk factors for recurrence of child abuse and neglect



Co-occurring risk factors
