TOPIC: Emotional & Psychological ABUSE of Children: What can be done?
Research indicates Emotional & Psychological Abuse to be the most prevalent form of child abuse, and the most damaging (more than physical and sexual)! Yet little is done to recognize and intervene so as to protect our children from such abuse in the home, school and community. Recent court decisions in Florida have rendered the "mental maltreatment" clause in FLORIDA abuse statutes meaningless declaring the statute to be too vague to enforce; efforts are underway to have the legislature adopt new, enforceablestatutes. Join us for a panel discussion to investigate the many facets of this problem and generate collaborative efforts to address the problem of protecting children from EMOTIONAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL abuse in all its varied forms.
