Experts Advocate Child Abuse Prevention

A new study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics calls for a “national campaign related to child abuse where every parent is reminded that kids can get injured.”

This study, led by Dr. John Levanthal of Yale University is the first to provide a broad U.S. estimate of serious injuries due to child abuse.

One of the highlights of the study showed a relation between poverty and child abuse. “The rate of abuse was highest among children under one, particularly if they were covered by Medicaid,” according to Frederik Joelving of Reuters in an article in the Chicago Tribune.

“This is a serious problem that affects young children,” said Levanthal. “We need to figure out a way to help parents do better.”

More information can be found on the Chicago Tribune’s website at http://goo.gl/pZsyh and the abstract of the study can be found online at http://goo.gl/EzICF.

Aware Central Texas has always believed that prevention is key to diminishing child abuse and neglect. Education programs like Parenting Classes, Anger Management, and Mood Management to name a few, strive to better educate adults and give them skills to cope with the stress of day to day life.

We have a list of our programs available on the website. If you have a more specific question, just give us a ring at 254-939-1696/254-939-7582.
