Child Abuse

All forms of abuse hurt!
Children need to be loved. They have a right to live a life free from fear, pain and abuse.
Those who have been abused may experience:

Depression
Feelings of isolation
Low self-esteem
Self destructive behaviour
Guilt
Shame

Many of these feelings can continue into adulthood and may cause long term emotional problems and difficulty in forming trusting relationships.
