I found this website very helpful for my blog because it has a lot of information about child abuse on it, including defining child abuse and neglect, identifying child abuse and neglect, and child fatalities. I have learned some helpful information that I'd like to share with you that I found on the link above. There are four main types of neglect: Physical, medical, emotional, and educational neglect. Physical neglect is when you fail to provide the shelter, food, or lack of supervision that is necessary. Medical neglect is when you don't provide the necessary medical treatment for your child. Emotional neglect is the failure to provide psychological care to your child. Educational neglect is when you don't provide the necessary education for your child. Also, I discovered that there were three types of abuse: Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, but those are pretty self-explanatory. Those are only a few of the things that I found on this website, but if you want to learn more click on the link and it will automatically take you to it.

  1. Be thinking about who might benefit by reading your blog. Who do you imagine is your audience? Kids who are getting abused? People who want to help? The abusers? Making this decision will help you focus your future writings.
