More information
The article should be edited to give more information about the life-destroying effects of paedophilia. For example, the victims of paedophilia are six times more likely to commit suicide and are eight times more likely to repeatedly attempt suicide throughout their lives. The victims of abuse in childhood are three times more likely to suffer from depression or to commit suicide with the victims of paedophila being the most affected with a 40% higher number of them suffering from depression than the victims of all the other types of abuse. This is important information and will give the reader a much greater understanding of the issue, including the damaging effects mentioned above.Link to the Life-Destroying Effects of Paedophilia

Child sexual abuse is also strongly connected to the development of addictive behavior, complex post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.[19][20] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.138.129 (talk) 17:42, 14 December 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PLehany (talk • contribs)
A number of the life-destroying effects of paedophilia can become visible when the victim gets older while not being visible at the time of the abuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PLehany (talk • contribs) 22:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have reverted your edit where you swapped material around so that the paragraph of the effects of CSA came before a description of what it was. It is generally more logical to define what something is before going on to outline effects or other aspects. Fainites barleyscribs 22:43, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Definition
The first sentence in the article states that child abuse is physical mistreatment, whilst the four categories mentioned two sentences later are; neglect, physical abuse, psychological/emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. Shouldn’t the first sentence then be changed to: ”Child abuse is the physical or psychological mistreatment of children” or something similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godtadet (talk • contribs) 08:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- I have expanded the first sentence accordingly. Alarics (talk) 21:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
reporting child abuse
It is very important that there is imformation on how to correctly report child abuse, it can be very difficult when you see child abuse to know what to do about it. I have had situations to which I feel I need to do something, only to be let down and threatened by the police for doing this. It is also important in ensuring we can prevent these crimes occuring and even wikipedians may save a child's life! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.134.84 (talk) 12:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Parental abuse
Parental abuse redirects here but really needs to be covered in more detail as it is child abuse in a specific context - there are quite a few academic papers on this. Also there is the possibility of children abusing parents using bad behaviour etc. --Penbat (talk) 13:29, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
