Can there be solution for children getting abused?

If they are in enough danger that they need a weapon, they should go to the police and seek protection.\n\nThe law errs in favor of the child seeking help. If you really know someone who is being abused to the point that they need a weapon, please call the police on their behalf.\n\n.

Todays hooligans and asbo's aren't a result of broken homes but a result of not being able to chastise children any more and help them to learn right from wrong, of course I don't mean abuse but children have to know what they can and can't do & nowadays we aren't allowed to tell them

Solution is pressure that Government to solve the case catch the badguys and we need to tell kids that be safe and be good

I think sometimes two kids really do need each other, but more likely to escape from an environment that isn't good for them.\nEvery one has a right to somewhere safe they can call home.\nChances are once the threat has passed there will come a time when they will consider moving on to explore other opportunities.\n\nI do think the state can come up with some healthier options though. When you give a child more resources, chances are they won't have to pretend in order to improve their current circumstances.

If you know something like this is going on then somebody needs to be told, the cops, parents, a teacher or counselor.  Everyone this kid does this too is getting hurt and scarred for life.  This needs to stop immediately.

First and foremost is education.  That is the key in not letting abuse go on.  People need to be educated as to what is/isn’t acceptable behavior when it comes to children.  They need to know where the boundary is between discipline and abuse.  Many don’t know that.  Many really don’t think they are doing anything wrong at all.  They tend to see it as discipline not abuse.  In a lot of cases it had been done to them so they think that is the way to do things.  \n\nSecondly society needs to get involved.  Many times people, friends, neighbors, relatives, etc know what is going on but don’t do anything about it, not wanting to be ‘involved’.  But they need to be!  They need to report abuse and keep reporting it until someone listens to them.  Reporting abusive behavior isn’t interfering in how a child is raised it is reporting a criminal act.  It can be done anonymously so no-one would know they did it.  \n\nThirdly, the parents need to be held accountable for abuse.  Just because it is their children they are hurting doesn’t make it any less of a crime than if they did it to someone that wasn’t related to them.  Just because it is their child doesn’t give them the right to abuse them.  Children are not property, they are human beings like any adult, and shouldn’t be treated as such.  Just because you are a parent to them doesn’t allow you the right to do to them whatever you want.  While parenting classes for these people is a step in the right direction it isn’t the only thing that needs to be done.  What usually happens is they attend the class but don’t learn anything from it.  When the class is over they graduate from it whether or not it has succeeded.  People who facilitate these classes should be allowed to give a recommendation as to whether or not the person learned anything, not just rubber stamp it and pass it along as done.  Counseling one on one for the abuser is a must.  If they can learn what is causing the abusive behavior there is a better chance at making sure it doesn’t happen again.  Criminal penalties should be attached to this behavior as well.  It isn’t a family problem like most think it is a violent crime and needs to be treated as such.  They also need to be shown ways other than violence that works as discipline.  There are many different ways and they are effective.\n\nFourthly, Children’s services needs some drastic changes done to it.  It is undermanned and the caseload carried by the workers is far beyond what they can reasonably handle.  Give them the workers and funds they need to do what is right.  They should also be allowed to judge things on a case to case basis rather than have to deal with some arbitrary rules that don’t apply to some things.  They also need to be educated better about things than what they are.  Also, they should be allowed to recommend whether or not children are safe with their parents not have to return children just because the they followed what the courts said to do.  Give that recommendation to a psychologist or psychiatrist that is neutral and is appointed by the courts then let them decide what should be done then report to the courts their findings.  Judges and lawyers aren’t equipped in those areas like people in the field so giving them the information from a professional in the field can help them better determine what should and shouldn’t be done.  Workers should also be held criminally accountable for some things as well such as if they are negligent in what they have done or out and out didn’t do it but falsely filed paperwork saying they did.  Truly, these people are the ones that protect the children, any failure due to their mismanagement or sloppy work should make them accountable if the child comes to any more harm.  They should also be allowed to bar some people from having access to the children, such as a boyfriend of the mothers who is the abuser and be able to take action if the mother allows them back in

Train the parents of the child on how to raise the child. Government can't take over that role. Look how it currently is done. A place of where child safety would gets its best source of knowledge is from mothers who raise their own children. Have Women run the service on a volunteer basis with no income and there would be an improvement in the CPS service.

Absolutely NOT! The only things that will stop child sexual assault are:\n\nParents not neglecting their children. They have to watch them constantly whether they are outside in the yard, at the park, on the internet, in the library or in a store! You can not just let your child run wild and not know what he/she is up too.\n\nTeaching Prevention to Parents, Teachers, and other persons of \nAuthority. Teaching them how to see a possible problem.\n\nTeaching good touch and bad touch to your child. Let them know it is perfectly ok to tell you anything at anytime. Let them know that if someone does something to them and tells them don't tell because I will hurt you or your Mommy etc that it is not true. None of you will be harmed. Teach them DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS! Do not take candy, stuffed animals, etc from strangers. Do not go "look for the lost puppy with a stranger".\n\nIf you instill these things on a regular basis to your children, they will be much more protected. TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN. Do not ignore them. Watch for warning signs of depression, not wanting to go to someones house, not wanting to be around a certain person. \n\nPlain and simple. STAY INVOLVED IN YOUR CHILDS LIFE!

No there isn't. Call Social Services and tell them about it and give them any info you can. You will remain anonymous. Do it for that child, don't be scared

I am sorry to say this, but if you feel the kids are being abused in any way....you should call child protective services.  They will come out and interview her and her kids and see whats going on.   Forget her lies, if you can see through them you have some power, and not to sound cliche, but with power comes responsibility.

Check out V.O.C.A.L. or Victims of Child Abuse Laws. The first thing you need to do is know your rights. CPS in over half of their cases are not there to protect the child they are there to take healthy well adjusted children from good homes on trumped up abuse or neglect charges & make it practically impossible for the parent or parents to get the children back & then get revenue for the State through adopting out the children.\n\nGoogle "Atrocities of CPS"

I would imagine that would be possible if you were to show that the parents are incapable or unwilling to care for the child and provide a safe environment.  It would probably be a long, slow process; however, if the child is in an abusive or drug oriented situation, it would be worth the effort to protect the child.  Unfortunately, it may depend on a judge and we have seen lately how they rule on a lot of cases against people who should be in prison.

Call Child Protective Services which is in the front of any telephone book!  If it is happening right then, like a child is alone or being Battered, call the police and they will call CPS after they arrest someone or remove the child!\n\nCustody is awarded by the court after a petition is filed and a decision of imminent danger is made! Kids are usually placed into foster care until we find a suitable relative, which isn't always possible, especially in sexual abuse cases!\n\nContact CPS and let them know you are available! In my state you can also get custody through a probate court under certain circumstances!
