Statements!!

1.) If I work with children, I will be helping children by giving them the voice that they need to communicate the neglect they are experiencing in their everyday lives. I will give these minors a better and healthy life so they can continue their normal day-to-day activities before the abuse began. 2.) The fact that a child is being bothered by abuse and neglect act home and that she or he discloses this to someone such as a teacher or another adult is very brave of them. As someone who is learning about child abuse, it is always important to listen and hear out minors no matter how old they are and help them with whatever issue regardless if it is an act of abuse or neglect. 3.) By making a report, I will help the child by giving them a voice to help them with their situation with their ongoing abuse. This may be a rough ride for the child but it will ensure their safety and health.
