Paper Abstract: Causes, policy values, prevention, ethics, juvenile system, role of parents, law, recommendations. Paper Introduction: Child Abuse Defined Relative to Core and Peripheral Aspects Gil (1988) defines the phenomenon child abuse as any form of maltreatment that is perpetrated by parents, significant others, and/or absolute strangers against victims who are children. Such maltreatment is abusive when it impairs the psychological, social, physical, and spiritual functioning of the child at issue. Gil (1988), Jacobsen (1986), and Whitfield (1987) note that the core aspects of the issue of childhood abuse are that the child is victimized by parents, significant others, or absolute strangers. There may be sudden onset of childhood abuse, or a gradual building up of abusive behavior. The child victim is generally deceived by the perpetrator/perpetrators into feeling that he or she is responsible for the abuse or that the abuse was provided for his or her good.
