Summary

Primary targets of child abuse and neglect prevention strategies are professional educators who are in direct contact with child (age range 3-18).These professional educators consist of the following six categories: (1) teachers, (2) administrators, (3) counselors, (4) psychologist, (5) social workers and (6) support services personnel.Given the in-depth research on the topic child abuse and neglect, readers are able to identify and address the following three questions: (1) What is child abuse and neglect? (2) How and when did it begin? and (3) What and how can educators, parents and community agencies prevent this disease from spreading?The latter section of this book consists of innovative lesson plans/activities to inform and teach children how to avoid becoming victims of sexual abusers.Lesson plans are designed around thought-provoking poems.There are innovative games, puzzles, and role-playing techniques.Secondary targets are: (a) parent support groups, (b) churches, (c) hospitals, (d) child care services, (e) community agencies.Effective research cites many supportive organizations that are implementing strategies to prevent child and neglect.
