Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

A lot has been said and written about child abuse in our society. Child abuse is not any single entity but a term used to describe a variety of acts by parents ranging from explosive assault, to over punitive discipline or irresponsible neglects. According,, to Yakasi in Sunday New Nigeria, 29 Oct, 1989.

Historical accounts suggest that child abuse has been in practice for long as records show, but it seems to have increased in frequency and severity with the onset of the industrial revolution. It is only fairly recently that the frequency of violence towards children within families became appreciated in the western world.

Various estimates of incidences have been made by World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), from which one might suggest a rate of 0.5 percent of children under 3 year.

Kempe (1971) estimates 40,000 cases per annum in the USA; A Lancet editorial (1973) suggests 2000 cases per annum in UK.

In African and Nigeria in particular it is difficult to estimate the incidences of child abuse and neglect because of the ethno cultural differences and other intricacies, while a few of the abuse or harmful situations are deemed likely to occur in Africa, the whole issue of child abuse and neglect sound remote to most Africans Yakasai (1989).
