 ABSTRACT

Child abuses are any threatening or violent interaction of physical, psychological or sexual nature, which may cause physical or psychological harm to the child. The effects of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and violence are far-reaching; not only their health but also the economic prospects of victims are affected. The historical record is also filled with reports of unkempt, weak and malnourished children cast out by families to fend for themselves. The study was carried out from December 2019 to May 2020. The study was carried out by a multistage sampling method. The first and second stages employed a simple random sampling technique. Majority of 53.3 per cent of the respondents not mentioned anything, remaining 48 respondents forming 32.0 per cent saying and 14.7 per cent of the respondents saying yes. It clearly indicates that majority of 36.0 per cent abused to talk bad language/words within their peer groups. majority of 58 respondents forming 38.7 per cent of them says that their parents ever loved. These have together created an environment wherein discussion on child abuse has been initiated, the media has started highlighting such issues and an understanding of their gravity is gaining momentum.

Keywords: Child abuses, Effects of physical, Mocked and Scolded.
