Greeetings lovers of kids all over globe my name is @patvalentine from Nigeria this my first time of posting here, am here to educate us on child abuse,causes and solutions

Child abuse is not a seasonal occurrence but a daily activities that happened in our society,
It's not just limited to one gender or segment it's general issue. Child abuse is does not only happened when a girl child is abuse sexually,it also happened to a boy child both sexually and mentally.
But our world today seem to focus their attention to one segment which is a girl child without considering the boy child knowing to well that inability to secure a male child can increase the occurrence of child abuse in a girl child.

Child abuse is a act of forcing a child being it male of female to carried out a act either forcefully or persuadesively when that child is not of age to do such thing.

Lack of parental care:

Lack of parental care has been a major problem of child abuse,when a parent leave a child upbringing to a strength person who in turn infuse a certain character on that child,making the child to child to carried out unlawful act.in today world parents has contributed to 70% in occurrence of child abuse because they focus on working instead of bringing up the child in a good societal manner.

Society or environment:

one of the agent of socialization is our environment,our local environment has contributed to the abuse of a child by show casing things that are not relevant to a child to participate.

Media:

media being it social or television has also contributed to a child abuse because what a child watch either on television or social media can lead to abuse of that child especially when that child is not of age to watch such content.

Peer pressure or group

This are the group of child of the same age bracket or age segment this agent can make a child character change over night.peer group as contributed so much to the abuse of every 2 in 10 child even more then that as every child may or will want to do what is peer is doing.

Parents should make sure they take care of their child in all aspects, government should make a law against child abuse
because this children are voiceless they can't defend their self or speak for their self, government should speak for them.

Best regards to @steemkids and @ngoenyi
