Abused Kids: See It! Stop It!

Video/DVD

The statistics alone paint a disturbing picture of child abuse that seems impossible to reconcile with our everyday reality: two million cases a year of child abuse never get reported; every day three children die of abuse; most abused children are younger than five and are abused by someone they know; abuse and neglect are the leading cause of children's death. The list is grim and long.

And yet, much of the abuse can be prevented. The key to stopping it is seeing it. That is the clarion call in this frank video, produced in collaboration with Arizona Public Service, the Arizona Department of Education, and Child Abuse Prevention Arizona.

This obvious goal of this program is to teach the viewer how to identify and report suspected child abuse, and it accomplishes this goal in a powerful way. The narrated video takes the viewer through an in-depth look at four types of abuse: neglect, physical, sexual, and emotional.

Each specific type of abuse is very clearly characterized, including its definition, prevalence, behavioral and physical symptoms, and issues regarding how to detect and report the abuse. Information is often displayed in easy-to-read bulleted lists. Some of the information is generated by brief on-screen appearances by credible experts in law enforcement, the legal system, and child welfare and abuse.

The video pays special attention to difficult issues such as clarifying accidental vs non-accidental injury, how to approach a child suspected of being abused, how to report abuse, and what to expect when reporting it.

The production uses an appropriate balance of graphic forensic images; everyday images of children, parents and adults; and docu-drama type scenarios. The tone is always sincere and factual. The video also provides helpful follow-up information sources on child abuse on the Web and national phone hotlines.

Anyone working with children -- from parents to teachers to juvenile justice professionals – will greatly benefit from viewing this award-winning program, and can in turn help prevent even one more child from suffering the same tragedies.
