Heather

Michael G.

Radford
University,
offer an
informative
look into
specific types
of abuse in
children and
the effects it
has on the
child later in
life.

This paper
talks in detail
about the
specific types
of abuse. It
also
addresses
the effects
each specific
type of abuse
can have on
the person
later in their
life.

This merely
gives facts. It
allows the
reader to form
his or her own
opinions. So it
neither agrees
nor disagrees
with others.
