La Negligencia es Sinónimo de Abuso La negligencia es la forma más común de abuso infantil. Es la incapacidad de satisfacer las necesidades básicas de un niño, incluyendo la vivienda, la alimentación, la vestimenta, la educación, la seguridad y el acceso al cuidado de salud. La negligencia se caracteriza más a menudo por actos de omisión que no son fáciles de ver, no es como el abuso físico, donde normalmente hay evidencia de marcas físicas. Los signos de negligencia son amplios y variados, y pueden incluir: falta de desarrollo y crecimiento físico adecuado o malnutrición entre los lactantes; vestir a los niños con ropa inadecuada para el clima; y niños que parecen estar a cargo del cuidado de sus hermanos. Si usted sabe que está ocurriendo cualquier tipo de abuso, o si un niño se lo revela a usted, es importante comunicar sus preocupaciones a las autoridades correspondientes. Llame al departamento de policía o al departamento de protección de menores para reportar sospechas de abuso de cualquier tipo. Para obtener una copia del artículo de VIRTUS The Oft-Forgotten Type of Abuse: Neglect (El tipo de abuso comúnmente olvidado: negligencia), llame al (213) o visite: VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx Neglect is a Common Form of Abuse Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. It is the failure to meet a child s basic needs, including housing, food, clothing, education, safety and access to health care. Neglect is most often characterized by acts of omission that aren t easy to see. The signs of neglect are wide and varied, and may include: failure to develop and grow appropriately, or malnourishment, among infants; wearing inadequate clothing for the weather; and children who seem to be wholly responsible for the welfare of their siblings. If you know that any type of abuse is occurring, or if a child discloses to you, it is important to communicate these concerns to the appropriate authorities. Call your local law enforcement or child protective services department to report suspected abuse of any kind. For a copy of the VIRTUS article The Oft- Forgotten Type of Abuse: Neglect, call (213) or visit: VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx. We are living in a time of many wars. The call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet. Peace is always proactive and dynamic.
