关于儿童虐待报告和预防课程的一份说明:与婴儿和幼儿,学龄前儿童和学龄儿童合作的工作人员有单独的课程。亚慱彩票在这些年龄组中存在许多关键概念存在的例子和年龄相关的内容存在重要的变化。使用多个年龄组或搬到不同年龄组的工作人员通常不需要完成多个课程。请与您的T&CS或经理讨论您的个人专业发展需求。
知道
对于我们大多数人来说,很难想象有人伤害孩子。想象有故意伤害婴儿或幼儿的人可能更难以更加困难。尽可能令人不安,孩子虐待和忽视是非常真实的。每年超过600,000名儿童是美国虐待或忽视的受害者(美国卫生部和人类服务部,2012年)。我们大多数人永远不会理解为什么个人犯罪或忽视的原因。本课程的目的是帮助您了解虐待和忽视的虐待和忽视。它还可以帮助您了解您在报告和预防滥用和忽视方面的义务。你是一个授权的记者。这意味着您有法律要求报告对适当的当局的滥用或忽视的怀疑(例如,儿童保护服务,MIL军事家庭宣传计划,或您在陆军计划中的报告点)。如果您不确定某些事情是否是滥用或忽视,或者较违反政策的违规,您可能希望与您的主管讨论这一点。您从不要求寻求报告的许可。如果您认为发生了滥用或忽视的情况,则需要正确向其报告。
What is Child Abuse and Neglect?
美国联邦政府定义虐待儿童和忽视:
任何最近的行为或未能采取父母或看护人的行动,导致死亡,严重的身体或情绪伤害,性虐待或剥削,或行为或未能采取行动,这提出了迫在眉睫的危害风险。
Source: Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) Reauthorization Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-320), § 3.
Take a minute to reflect on that definition. What are your impressions of the federal definition? What does it mean? Let's explore each part in more detail:
- 最近的行为或未能采取行动:这让我们提醒我们,虐待和忽视是两个截然不同的概念。一个孩子可以被击球或踢的公然行动伤害,但是当一个成年人未能为孩子们的幸福提供给孩子的情况时,孩子也可能受到伤害,而不是监督蹒跚学步或不喂养或沐浴孩子
- 在父母或看护人的一部分:Remember abuse and neglect can happen anywhere and by anyone. Abuse does not just happen at the hands of a parent or family member. Abuse and neglect can be committed by anyone who is responsible for the care of a child. This might be a teacher, coach, faith leader, or any other individual in a caregiving or supervisory role.
- which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation
- or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm:我们不必等待悲剧罢工。如果孩子处于严重伤害的风险,则可以被视为虐待或忽视。
该定义是最低的联邦标准。各国和政府部门可以制定自己更具体的儿童虐待和忽视的定义。在您的工作场所,您将遵守和遵守儿童虐待和忽视的国防部。
国防部(多德6400.1,2004)定义儿童虐待和忽视如下:
Child abuse and neglect includes physical injury, sexual maltreatment, emotional maltreatment, deprivation of necessities or combinations for a child by an individual responsible for the child's welfare under circumstances indicating that the child's welfare is harmed or threatened. The term encompasses both acts and omissions on the part of a responsible person. A child is a person under 18 years of age for whom a parent, guardian, foster parent, caretaker, employee of a residential facility or any staff person providing out-of-home care is legally responsible. The term child means a natural child, adopted child, stepchild, foster child or ward. The term also includes an individual of any age who is incapable for self-support because of a mental or physical incapacity and for whom treatment in a medical treatment facility is authorized.
根据美国卫生和人类服务部MIL和军事家庭倡导计划, child abuse and neglect generally falls into one of these four categories:
忽视
尽管在经济上能够这样做,但忽视包括未能提供孩子的基本需求。忽视可能是:
- Physical, when an adult fails to provide necessary food, shelter, or appropriate supervision
- 医疗,当成人未能提供必要的医疗或精神健康治疗时
- 教育,当成年人未能教育孩子或参加特殊教育需求
- Emotional, when an adult fails to provide attention to a child's emotional needs, fails to provide psychological care, or permits the child to use alcohol or drugs
身体虐待
身体虐待被定义为诸如以下行动的儿童的非意外身体伤害:
- 冲孔
- 跳动
- kicking
- 咬人
- shaking
- 投掷
- stabbing
- 窒息
- hitting
- 燃烧
情绪虐待
情绪虐待包括一种对孩子的心理福祉产生负面影响的行为模式,包括不断的批评,威胁和拒绝。当孩子是时,可能会发生情绪虐待:
- 被忽略:成年人可能看不到或回应孩子。
- 被拒绝:成年人通过否认他们的需求或嘲笑他们而积极拒绝孩子。
- Isolated: A child is prevented from having interactions with peers, family members, or other adults.
- 被剥削或损坏:教授或鼓励孩子从事窃取这样的非法或不恰当的行为。
- Verbally assaulted: An adult constantly belittles, shames, ridicules, or threatens a child.
- 恐吓:成年人威胁或恶霸,并造成恐惧的气氛;孩子或所爱的人可能被放置在危险的情况下或受到伤害的威胁。
性虐待
性虐待包括朝向或涉及孩子的性活动,它可能包括:
- 抚摸或摸索孩子的生殖器
- 让孩子触摸成年人的性器官
- Penetration of any kind that does not have a valid medical purpose
- 乱伦,强奸和鸡奸
- 把自己敞口到孩子
- 暴露儿童色情材料
- 故意将孩子暴露在性交行为中
- 在孩子面前自慰
- Involving a child in prostitution
- 涉及儿童在生产任何性明确的图像中
Where Does Child Abuse and Neglect Occur?
虐待虐待和忽视可能会发生任何地方。您应该熟悉两个不同类型的滥用和忽视。
Familialabuse or neglect occurs in an infant or toddler's home. The act of abuse or neglect is committed by a parent, guardian, or family member.
机构abuse or neglect occurs outside the home in community or private settings. This type of abuse or neglect is also known as "out-of-home" or "extra-familial" abuse or neglect.MIL在这门课的其余部分,制度abuse will refer to abuse or neglect which may occur in Department of Defense-sponsored facilities, programs, or activities. This course will focus on abuse or neglect which may occur in child development centers, family child care homes, sponsored field trips, and school-age care programs. Remember, though, that institutional abuse can also occur in installation homework or computer centers, mentoring or tutoring programs, sports programs, chapel programs, scouts, Morale Welfare and Recreation programs, teen centers and youth programs. This type of abuse typically involves a child and an adult in a supervisory role, like a teacher, caregiver, or volunteer.
您将在本课程的最后一课和虐待和忽视预防课程中了解更多有关机构滥用的信息。但是,在开始本课程时,您应该知道一些事情。有一些类型的指导和纪律有可能造成伤害和模型侵略。当我们使用与儿童的侵略性技术时,他们和他们的家庭就会了解对行为的激进反应是好的。这不是我们想要送儿童和家庭的信息。以下做法在儿童发展方案中没有地方,可能被视为虐待儿童或忽视:
- 体罚:在任何情况下,您可能都不会罢工,击中,鞭打,打击,或对任何年龄的孩子使用任何其他形式的身体惩罚。
- Withholding physical needs:在任何情况下,你可能都不会扣留食物,睡眠,身体活动或其他需要,就像从孩子那样养殖作为惩罚。
- 大喊大叫,羞辱、贬低或威胁一个太极ld:在任何情况下,你可能不会故意为他或她的身体或心理安全做出孩子的恐惧。你可能不会称呼儿童伤害名称,威胁孩子,或让孩子感到羞耻。
- Isolating a child: You may not punish a child by leaving him or her alone (i.e., leaving a child on the playground alone because he did not line up with the group) or by putting the child in “time out” in an enclosed space like a closet, restroom, or cardboard box.
- Binding or restricting a child’s movements:您可能无法通过阻止他或她能够移动或说话(即,覆盖儿童的嘴或胶带的手)来惩罚孩子。
如果工作人员被指控虐待或忽视,他们可以预期从调查正在进行调查时从与儿童直接接触中移除。有关更多具体信息,请与您的经理交谈or T&Cs.
谁是风险的?
Child abuse and neglect can happen to anyone. There is no "typical" abuser or victim. There are some situations that are associated with higher levels of risk for abuse or neglect, though. Understanding who is more at-risk for abuse and neglect can help us provide extra support to children and families who are experiencing stress. We can think of risk occurring at several levels: individual, family, and community.
有三类儿童患儿童虐待和忽视的风险:幼儿,残疾儿童和具有挑战性行为的儿童。这意味着有困难时期的儿童,控制他们的情绪,遵循方向,或与他人相处可能是风险的。周围的成年人可能很容易沮丧或不知道如何帮助孩子。我们必须小心地记住这并不意味着孩子会导致虐待和忽视。孩子永远不会责怪。它并不意味着只有这些类别的儿童被滥用或被忽视。相反,我们必须记得为孩子们满足这些特征的家庭提供额外的支持。
希望和梦想父母对他们的孩子在怀孕期间开始。照顾婴儿或幼儿的现实可能与父母拥有的期望不符。这可能对家庭压力有压力,可以让他们容易受到虐待或忽视。观看这段视频,了解为什么婴儿和幼儿最容易受到虐待和忽视的影响。
虐待和忽视:婴儿和幼儿
There are also some characteristics of families who are more at-risk for committing abuse or neglect. Adults with little knowledge of child development or a history of maltreatment as a child are at increased risk for committing child abuse or neglect. It is important to remember, though, that not all adults who were abused as children go on to abuse their own children. Adults with substance abuse, mental health issues, or a harsh approach to discipline may also be at risk.
虐待更有可能发生在社会孤立的家庭中。由于许多原因,一个家庭可能会被孤立:最近的举措或部署可能将它们与大家庭和朋友分开,长期或无法预测的工作时间表可能会阻止他们具有社会机会,或者他们可能不知道如何与他人联系。儿童虐待和忽视也更有可能发生在经历其他形式的家庭暴力的家庭中,如暴力对抗配偶或伴侣。遇到压力的家庭(如失业,新儿童,婚姻冲突或部署),父母关系不佳,负面互动也是大多数风险。
社区风险因素包括社区暴力,高水平的贫困,高度的流动性和住房不稳定,高失业率和社会联系差。社区风险因素可以增加对家庭的压力增加。当压力很高或获得必要的资源很低时,更有可能发生滥用和忽视。
What are Protective Factors?
Take a moment to reflect on the risk factors you just read about. If you could think of ways to counteract or cancel out those risk factors, what would they be? What types of characteristics minimize the risk for child abuse and neglect? Researchers and policymakers have spent a lot of time thinking about these questions. As a result, the Center for the Study of Social Policy has developed the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework to prevent child abuse and neglect. It is important to understand this framework because it can help you see that the high-quality, family-centered work that you do everyday in your program makes a difference in the lives of children and families. Our job is not only to care for each child but also to provide care and support for the whole family. The Strengthening Families Protective Factors framework gives us tools and ideas to support families.
应用部分中有一个资源,供您下载并阅读以了解有关保护因子框架的更多信息。以下是概述了五种保护因素,有助于防止儿童虐待和忽视家庭。当这五个因素很强劲时,家庭的款项更好地配备了他们需要保护孩子免受虐待和忽视所需的技能和支持。

我在理解儿童虐待和忽视方面的作用是什么?
As a caregiver for infants and toddlers, you have a legal and ethical professional responsibility to protect children from harm. That is your most important responsibility and one that is highlighted in the National Association for the Education of Young Children code of professional ethics. Given this important ethical responsibility, it is also necessary to recognize that you have a legal obligation to act when you suspect a child is in harm's way. As a child development program staff member, you are a mandated reporter for suspicions of child abuse and neglect. This means you are legally required to report suspicions of child abuse and neglect. You will learn about reporting procedures in subsequent lessons. For now, it is important to recognize that you have an obligation to report your suspicions of child abuse and neglect.
On military installations, leaders have worked hard to create a climate that promotes reporting. You are a mandated reporter, and so are all installation law enforcement personnel, physicians, nurses, social workers, school personnel, Family Advocacy Program and Children, Youth and School personnel, psychologists, and other medical personnel. In some services and on some installations, all service members are mandated reporters.
我在加强家庭方面的作用是什么?
您的主要作用是学习所有您可以对家庭的所有关系,并与他们建立强有力的关系。您可能是第一个家庭成员对其存在的问题或关注的人。您也可以与您的经理或T&CS合作,为家庭提供资源(即,关于处理咬,社区信息的提示)。关于保护因素框架可以帮助您了解您每天都能支持您看到的家庭的简单方法。
您将在儿童虐待预防课程和家庭课程中了解更多关于这个主题的信息。目前,需要时间了解加强家庭保护因素框架,并反思它如何指导您的工作。承诺与您所携手合作的所有家庭建立积极的关系。您也可以继续:
- Help build awareness about child abuse and neglect in your program and community.
- Participate in required trainings like this oneMIL和您的家庭倡导计划提供的其他人。您将在下一课程中了解有关家庭宣传计划的更多信息。家庭倡导计划通过提供在建立保护因素的所有家庭来建立和支持家庭来防止虐待儿童虐待和忽视。如果发生虐待,则FAP培训了员工,以评估报告的事件并相应地回应,以使受害者安全,与家庭合作,以创造安全,稳定和培育儿童的关系.
