Knowledge of Mothers Regarding Child Abuse In Rural areas
child abuse has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of the child. Approximately 702,000 children were confirmed by child protective services as being victims of abuse and neglect in 2014. At least one in four children have experienced child neglect or abuse (including physical, emotional, and sexual) at some point in their lives, and one in seven children experienced abuse or neglect in the last year. Very few studies have highlighted the turmoil burning issue of child abuse prevailing in rural areas and an attempt is made to determine the knowledge of rural mothers on child abuse.
