Preventing Child Maltreatment
Child maltreatment is a global problem with serious life-long consequences. There are no reliable global estimates for the prevalence of child maltreatment. Data for many countries, especially low and middle-income countries, are lacking.
Child maltreatment is complex and difficult to study. Current estimates vary widely, depending on the country and the method of research used. Nonetheless, international studies reveal that approximately 20% of women and 10% of men report being sexually abused as children, while 25-50% of all children report being physically abused. Additionally, many children are subject to emotional abuse (sometimes referred to as psychological abuse).
Every year, there are an estimated 31, 000 homicide deaths in children under 15. This number underestimates the true extent of the problem, as a significant proportion of deaths due to child maltreatment are incorrectly attributed to falls, burns and drowning.
Child maltreatment causes suffering to children and families and can have long-term consequences. Maltreatment causes stress that is associated with disruption in early brain development. Extreme stress can impair the development of the nervous and immune systems. Consequently, as a-dults, maltreated children are at increased risk for behavioural, physical and mental health problems. Via the behavioural and mental health consequences, maltreatment can contribute to heart disease, cancer, suicide and sexually transmitted infections.
Beyond the health consequences of child maltreatment, there is an economic impact, including costs of hospitalization, mental health treatment, child welfare, and longer-term health costs.
A number of risk factors for child maltreatment have been identified. These risk factors are not present in all social and cultural contexts, but provide an overview when attempting to understand the causes of child maltreatment.
It is important to emphasize that children are the victims and are never to blame for maltreatment. A number of characteristics of an individual child may increase the likelihood of being maltreated, such as being either under four years old or an adolescent, being unwanted, or failing to fulfill the expectations of parents and having special needs, crying persistently or having abnormal physical features.
We can infer from the passage that______.
选项
A、researchers have collected enough data on child maltreatment
B、more than 31, 000 children under 15 are killed every year
C、many countries have set up special institutions for maltreated children
D、some children are also to blame for maltreatment
答案
B
解析
推断题。依据是第三段第一句:每年, 有大约3l, 000名15岁以下儿童遭到谋杀。第一段最后一句:由于缺乏很多国家虐待儿童的数据, 尤其是中低收入国家的数据, 目前对于儿童虐待在全球蔓延的程度, 我们还未能得出可靠的判断。由此可知A选项不对。根据最后一段第一句:有一点很重要, 需要强调:儿童是受害者, 而且绝不应该怪他们。可知D选项错误。C选项没有提及。
