Defining child abuse and neglect as a public health crisis, this volume explores their connections to injuries, mental health issues, and socio-economic factors like poverty. The author highlights juvenile ageism and the assumption of parental competence as key contributors to the problem. Offering practical solutions, the book advocates for a balanced approach to the rights of parents and children, addressing the varied needs of families. A comprehensive prevention model is proposed, incorporating primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions to tackle these complex challenges.
