Medical-legal and societal problems involving children—child prostitution, child pornography and drug-related abuse; recommended legislation

  • Chapter

Abstract

The average American citizen, when called upon to describe the problems of child abuse and neglect, typically speaks about the battering or starving of a child by a parent who hates the child or is mentally deranged. There certainly are many child abuse and neglect cases which fall under such descriptions, but there are many more cases in which the parent or adult perpetrator is motivated by sexual, commercial, or drug-related concerns. The use of the child as an adjunct or tool in fulfilling the parent’s aberrant personal desires or needs is a form of child abuse distinguishable from the traditional formulation, yet as devastating to the child.
