CONTEMPORARY CHILDHOODSWhile speaking about social policies it is important to note its significance in the livesof the children as well as their families whereby, children can have profound reliance onthese welfare services for their current as well as future welfare. The impact caused by theAustralian social policies and guidelines on the lives of children is persistent, furtherencompassing both the besieged provision, for instance the interventions, aid and services inchildhood along with the regulations and guidelines directed at their parents as well as thecaregivers (Shlonsky, Arabena and Mildon 2016). While developing a discourse on socialproblems of cotemporary children an article has revealed the rate of child safeguardnotifications, observations as well as substantiations for child exploitation or maltreatmenthave witnessed an elevated rise by over 10% for the children belonging to non-Indigenouscommunities and over 15% for the aboriginal children (Bent, Dissanayake and Barbaro2015). In fact the scenario for the indigenous children related to child welfare has taken aworse appearance in the past few decades. These cases of child exploitation have beenfollowed by a record of methodical and obligatory confiscation of children belonging toIndigenous families and communities. During the period of 1920-1970, it has been estimated that several children ofIndigenous families were forcibly removed from their communities that further caused inintergenerational personal as well as community influence with severe as well as far-reachingeffects (Bowes and Grace 2014). However, while observing child maltreatment in Australia ithas been witnessed that because of the elevating rate of child misuse, children belonging toboth the communities have been receiving certain forms of child safeguard. Furtheranticipation has been made that reveal the possibilities of more cases of child exploitation andmisuse which may have been in the process of observation. In the opinion of the AustralianInstitute of Health and Welfare the majority section of children who have been detached fromtheir parents or families have generally caused because of extreme level of emotional
CONTEMPORARY CHILDHOODSexploitation and abuse (Shlonsky, Arabena and Mildon 2016). The article further explores theact of emotional or mental maltreatment includes exposure towards the cruel act of domesticviolence against children and neglect that had further led to the incompetence to accomplishessential demands and desires of the children of these communities. Such actions are thusregarded as the primary forms of substantiated and validated forms of child ill treatment otherthan any vindictive forms of acts related to physical or mental abuse. It is further to recognizethat emotional abuse as well as child neglect has been projected as fundamental forms ofmaltreatment for around seven out of ten surveyed children of the past couple of years. Allthese types of abuse and exploitation often trigger the issue of domestic violence, child abusealong with posing severe threats to the mental health conditions of children (Shlonsky,Arabena and Mildon 2016). However, the act of child exploitation can be further related tofactors related to economic dearth, specifically enduring rate of poverty and aboriginal or theTorres Islander families whereby they tend to be significantly in a crucial situation incomparison to the white Australian children in terms of economic level. Certain studies haverevealedthe improved outcomes related to domestic violence for the vulnerably affectedchildren can be achieved by further intensifying the means, resources as well as level ofcompetence of parents despite of concentrating on more established services that arepurposed for the welfare of children. The importance of the enhancement of child welfareservices by the Australian Health and Services have been taken into consideration that wouldfurther have effective implications for handling the identified issues in order to curb theissues of child exploitation(Shlonsky, Arabena and Mildon 2016). One of the primaryobjectives of this protection service is to demonstrating behavioural impact of parents ontheir children thereby increasing the level of threats of child loss with the persistent maliciousand cruel behaviour of parents.
