Violence against children is one of the most pressing problems facing the world today, with the increasing number of child victims of this violence, according to reports of international and humanitarian organizations concerned with childhood, which confirms the millions of children in different parts of the world to many forms of violence by parents Or other groups, which threatens the physical and psychological health of these children (victims of violence), but what is the real magnitude of the problem? What are the causes of violence against children, and the implications for both the short and long term? What are the means to overcome this problem that threatens the future?

(Today) raised these questions on a number of pediatricians and psychiatrists at Al-Hammadi Hospital in Riyadh .. On the occasion of the organization of the Department of Education and Psychology Faculty of Education for Girls literary sections in Riyadh seminar on (abuse of children) entitled (Rafqa B).

Sexual assault

Beginning d. Safa Al-Issa, Consultant Pediatrics and Neonatal Hospital and Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, Britain: The issue of violence against children on the scientific scale for the first time thirty years ago and the minimum in the West on the owner of the research that dealt with the problem, and accused that it magnifies issues that do not exist, The statistics of international humanitarian organizations concerned with childhood confirm, for example, that two million children in the United States suffer from adult violence against them, and that there are over 300,000 cases of sexual assault of varying degrees In our Arab and Islamic societies, the percentage is much lower than in America and the Western Europe, but it is wrong to say that there is no violence against our children, and seeing me as a pediatrician, I see cases of violence against children from time to time.

Dissonance between spouses

D. "Specialized studies in the United States and the United Kingdom describe the definition of any physical, psychological or mental injury or non-care of children and adolescents under the age of 18 by a person who is responsible for them and their health. Child neglect represents the majority of images and forms Violence against children, spread almost all over the world.

One of the reasons for the violence against children is the sick psyche of the parents, especially the father, who may have been subjected to persecution or violence in his childhood, and that is a natural thing in life, and the pressure of the society may reflect its bad effects on the father. And distress and stress on the child, for example, a father who does not have enough work or resource for children may infuriate his anger with his child, and there is also the problem of alcohol and drugs that affect the parents aggressively .. The causes of violence against children, rivalry between spouses and the lack of strong links between them, or with those around them .

One of the most common causes of violence against children in our Arab societies is the lack of awareness and knowledge of the difference between insulting and insulting the child, such as watching small children under two years of age beating hard because they have played some goods in the markets. The children of these children forget that their children at this age do not know that This is not his property, and he practices curiosity, which distinguishes this stage of age, as the absence of parents from the home and leave the responsibility of the child to the maid, makes the child does not understand why he should obey his father or his mother, which is not seen only in a few times is not enough He is supposed to know that he is his father.

Types of violence

Dr. Al-Issa, in cases of violence against children, says: There is physical aggression, which results in visible or internal injuries, and then negligence such as not feeding the child or not treating him if he is ill or satisfying his other needs, as well as neglect or psychological and emotional oppression, And I am aware of children as young as 12 years old who are wearing the belt not for the sake of harming them, but just for insulting them. The most dangerous type of violence against children is sexual assault, Whether the child is male or female Thi, a satisfactory behavior that exists in all societies despite the lack of talk about his sensitivity.

And confirms d. Al-Issa said that the possibility of diagnosing cases of violence against children varies according to the type of violence, it is easy to diagnose cases of physical injury, but it is difficult to know the existence of emotional or sexual emotional persecution, and this needs to clear the parents of the problem, so that the doctor can find a cure .. In the West, when the school administration, neighbors or doctor suspects that a child is being persecuted, the police are notified, and if so, the child is placed in a safe place where his or her childhood is practiced without violence. Or persecution.

Forms of abuse

According to Dr. Sari Da'as, Consultant Pediatrics and Neonatology Specialist at Al Hammadi Hospital in Riyadh, said: "If the child is exposed to illness and injury, this is normal and predictable despite everything that causes the parents grief and discomfort, but if someone is close to the child, The child's age is small, and despite all this, these things happen at a high rate sometimes, and child abuse is an old subject but has been seen as a medical problem since the fifties of the last century.

The relationship of violence to poverty

Either d. "Child abuse is often 70% physical, 25% sexual, 5% growth failure due to inadequate nutrition, and child abuse and persecution are common in poor communities. Women are often the culprits or are already in the majority," said Abdel Halim Hammoud, consultant pediatrician and neonatologist. Cases.
