How are children affected by abuse?
This depends on the type and severity of abuse. For example, the occasional slap by a parent who
is otherwise loving and supportive is unlikely to have any harmful effects. On the other hand, repeated physical abuse can lead to severe problems.
• Physical health. Injuries such as bruises or cuts, fractures, cigarette burns and, in severe cases, death can occur.
• Sexual health. Injuries to the sexual organs, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are possible.
• Mental health. Abused children often show fear, aggression, poor concentration, depression and antisocial behaviour.
• School performance. Abused children may show a drop in their school performance.
