Synopsis

This revised edition is from a 149 - page book which was originally printed in 1983. The stories and lesson plans written then are still pertinent to today's trauma with battered children. Since the enactment in 1974 of federal laws covering child abuse, the reported increase in the number of these cases has led many to speak of child abuse as epidemic in America. One in seven children is reported to be the victim of child abuse. Who are the abusers? What do I do as a professional when I suspect child abuse? This book is both a personal story of a young woman who was the victim of physical, emotional and sexual abuse from her mother and several other survivors; it is also a source book for teachers and professionals who deal daily with the problem. This book contains reporting resources, curriculum ideas for teachers, and public awareness materials.
