ABSTRACT
Setting Aside the immediate physical injuries children can witness through maltreatment, a child’s responses to abuse or neglect can have lifelong and indeed intergenerational impacts. Nonage maltreatment can be linked to latterly physical, mental, and behavioural consequences as well as costs to society as a whole. These consequences may be interrelated to each other, but they also may be independent. For illustration, abuse or neglect may trick physical development of the child’s brain and lead to mental problems, similar as low self-regard, which could latterly lead to high- threat actions, similar to substance use. The issues for each child may vary extensively and are affected by a combination of factors, including the child’s age and experimental status when the maltreatment passed; the type, frequency, duration, and inflexibility of the maltreatment; and the relationship between the child and the perpetrator. also, children who witness maltreatment frequently are affected by other adverse behaviours (e.g., maternal substance use, domestic violence, poverty), which can make it delicate to separate the unique impacts of maltreatment. This Research Article explains the long- term physical, mental, behavioural, & societal consequences of child abuse and neglect and provides an overview of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It also discusses the importance of intervention and prevention efforts and promoting protective environments and relationships.
