Child Abuse

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is _______. Today I want to talk about child abuse. I'm going to cover three points. First I will talk about why child abuse happens. Then I will cover how many children suffer it. Finally I will tell you what society can do to help.

First I will talk about why child abuse happens. According to The Japan Times newspaper, September 15, 2001, last month, in Hyogo prefecture, the parents of a 6-year-old boy were arrested for beating him to death and abandoning his body in a canal.

According to The Japan Times newspaper, specialists in mental health and child welfare talk of the "generational chain of abuse". This refers to the fact that parents suffering traumas from childhood abuse, often end up abusing their own children.

I have covered why child abuse happens, now I will talk about how many children suffered it. According to government figures, more than 18,800 cases of child abuse were brought before welfare authorities in fiscal 2000.

I have talked about why child abuse happens, and how many children suffered it. Finally I will tell you about what society can do to help. I believe that there is mental care for violent parents and counseling, for pregnant women.

To summarize, I have talked about why child abuse happens, how many children suffered it, and what society can do to help. Please remember that many children suffered child abuse from their parents.

We must not wink at these child abuse acts. We are not allowed to do child abuse.
