Spousal, Child and Elder Abuse. Spousal abuse, like child abuse, can occur in any family at any level of the social economic scale. Without help, the abuse is not likely to stop. An offender treated abusively will only be taught further abuse. Preventing abuse from happening in the first place is the best solution to all forms of child abuse. And stopping current abuse is vital. Preventing abuse takes a life long commitment. Treatment programs for abusers and would-be abusers can stop abuse and reduce future risks. Simple support for children and parents can be the best way to prevent child abuse. 6 pgs. No sources listed.
