001 Who Abuses Children
Student Name: Date
INSTRUCTIONS
Write your answers on the space provided.
To complete this task refer to the following reading:
 Child Development and Trauma Guide, Victorian Department of Human Services (2007).
Scenario - Imogen
Imogen (6 weeks) has severe colic and as a result will not settle into a sleep routine. She often cries for
long periods of time. Her mother is a teenage single parent with no family support. She is also about to
be evicted from her home.
Question 3a
Identify two risk factors related to the parent and/or the child that may contribute to the risk of abuse or
neglect. Use the risk factor list above.
Ans
There are two main factors that are present in this case that may leads to child abuse as per the current
situation. These are,
 Social isolation: As the mother of Imogen is a single parent teenager and also get evicted
from her house. This make it very much difficult to cover all the basic need of her child
by her own after being a single child. As she do not have any family support and her
child is suffering from the Colic so due to lack of other support the health and other
related care that child require may get neglected.
 Inadequate housing/transience/homelessness: The another major factor that may leads
to child abuse or neglect can be due to inadequate hosing or homelessness. This is so
because the she is a single parent and already being evicted from home which can
directly affect the development of her child as baby is already suffering from colic and
due to homelessness may her mother won’t be able to arrange food, shelter and other
things which that child actually need to get into better condition. This will create a case
of neglect for child toward further growth.
S NYS Assessor to indicate how this professional judgement was made:
Scenario - Faidh
Faidh (12 weeks) was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He has also been difficult to feed and his mother,
Wafa, is struggling with competing ‘advice’ from female family elders. She is showing signs of postnatal
depression and is having difficulty bonding with Faidh.
Question 3b
Identify two risk factors related to the parent and/or the child that may contribute to the risk of abuse or
neglect. Use the risk factor list above.
As Faidh’s mother is also suffering from a postnatal depression due to her struggle of competing with
the advice from female family elder. This may directly affect to the care and attention which is required
to given to Faidh. Following are two main risk factor that may to child abuse or neglect,
 Inadequate supervision of child or emotional enmeshment: As the Faidh is suffering from
cerebral palsy, he require more attention and care to get developed. But due to family
issue her mother is facing, Faidh may face neglect from his parent where he require more
supervision or emotional enmeshment to get developed and get into a better health
condition.
 Disorganised or insecure attachment relationship: A child after crossing twelve week
duration from birth started seeking from interaction and love from care giver. But in case

of Faidh her mother is already into a depression which in turn diverting her care and
attention from Faidh. As he is suffering from Cerebral Palsy such kind of neglect
behaviour may lead to his inability to identify the affection from his mother and due to
which may be he do not respond to care that his mother present in front of him while
feeding and other things.

001 Who Abuses Children
Scenario - Maddison
Maddison (13 months) is an only child. Her father is 18 years old, was physically abused as a child, and
has limited parenting skills. He slaps Maddison when she splashes water onto the floor during bath time.
Question 3c
Identify two risk factors related to the parent and/or the child that may contribute to the risk of abuse or
neglect. Use the risk factor list above.
Ans
a. Family violence, current or past: This is one of the major risk factor that may encourage
the situation of child abuse for Maddison. This is so because his father also experienced
a physical abuse while he was a child and by growing up in such environment he also get
comfortable in physical abuse or harm children when he get mentally or emotionally out
of control. This is a major risk factor of child abuse for Maddison.
b. Parent/carer under 20 years or under 20 years at birth of first child: As the father of
Maddison is 18 year old who is actually a teenager and not prepare as well as don’t have
appropriate understanding about the roles and responsibility that parents have toward
their children. This can be a factor of neglect of child in term care and need of a child for
growing up effectively.
S NYS Assessor to indicate how this professional judgement was made:
Scenario - Eze
Eze (6 months) was born 7 weeks premature. He has been slow to reach his milestones. His parents
have five other children under 10 years and struggle financially. His mother is very shy, speaks limited
English and spends most her time at home caregiving.
Question 3d
Identify two risk factors related to parent and/or child that may contribute to the risk of abuse or neglect.
Use the risk factor list above.
a) Lack of willingness or ability to prioritise child’s needs above own: This is one of the
biggest factor that may leads to risk of child neglect for Eze as she is already having 5
other siblings and her parents also having financial issues in their life. In between all
these tension and attention, Eze may get neglect by her parents and may not be able to
get appropriate care that a premature baby actually need to get developed and grown up
healthier. So, this may create a child neglect issue for Eze as her parents may find it
difficult to prioritise her need over their own.
b) Poverty, financial hardship, unemployment: This is the another risk factor due to which
Eze may face neglect as well as child abuse. This is so because, her parents are suffering
from financial difficulties which in turn may leads to their inability in arranging fund and
other care need which Eze actually from them. Other than this her mother is more busy in
home care giving due to which she may found less time to take care of Eze and spend
time with her. This in turn result into child neglect for Eze in term of her care and need.
