This script actually made by my friends and I, as a group due to one of our English Test for SPM candidates last year. (I just forget the name of the test...sorry) My English's teacher, Mr. Affendi asked my classmates to do a forum and my group have been given 'Child Abuse' as our topic for the forum and alhamdulillah my group has been selected to do a second presentation in front of PPD people. Thanks a lot to Mr. Affendi for his hard work.
Forum Script's About Child Abuse
Child abuse consists of any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health and development. Child abuse includes any damage done to a child which cannot be reasonably explained and which is often represented by an injury or series of injuries appearing to be non-accidental in nature. There are 4 types of child abuse, it is physical, sexual, psychological and also neglect that i will explain to all of you because there are too lots actually. Forms of all this kinds of child abuse,
1. Physical abuse

Psychological abuse, also referred to as emotional abuse or mental abuse, is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

(Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences)
Research has uncovered a number of risk factors or attributes commonly associated with maltreatment. Children in families and environments where these factors exist have a higher probability of experiencing maltreatment.
A greater understanding of risk factors can help professionals working with children and families identify maltreatment and high-risk situations so they can intervene appropriately. It must be emphasized, however, that while certain factors often are present among families where maltreatment occurs, this does not mean that the presence of these factors necessarily lead to child abuse and neglect.
Common factors associated with increased risk of child maltreatment are often categorized as follows:

Child abuse is on the rise in Malaysia with an increase of some 700 reported cases between 2006 and 2008.
Despite significant strides made by the Government in improving child
protection measures in recent years, statistics from the Department of
Social Welfare show a rise in reported child abuse cases in Malaysia:
2008: 2,780 child abuse reports
2007: 2,279 child abuse reports
2006: 1,999 child abuse reports.
Based on 2008 reported figures, neglect is the most common form of
child abuse in Malaysia. The breakdown of the three key forms of abuse
are as follows:
952 child victims experienced neglect, meaning a caretaker
failed to provide for the child’s basic needs.
863 child victims were physically abused.
733 child victims were sexually abused, 72% were incest.
58 child victims were abandoned babies.
Failure to provide care and supervision has become the most frequent
cause of death among children.
Child abuse reports in Malaysia spiked to a record high last year, according to statistics, as police blame the crime on misunderstandings and financial difficulties. The number of physical child abuse cases jumped about 26 percent from 203 in 2009 to 257 in 2010, the highest recorded over the last five years, Malaysian federal police revealed to local daily.
Thank you.
