“Most abused and neglected children never come to the attention of government authorities” (Hopper 2003). Many children that are sexually abused never face their abusers in court. The abuse whether it is physical, emotional, verbal, or neglect is never reported. The need to continue to study child abuse is important in stopping the pattern of child abuse. Recognizing child abuse whether you are a professional, teacher, counselor, grandparents or a child is important in stopping at least one child abuser. This article is an annotated bibliography that gives information to help each of these.
