most of them have a lot of knowledge and also experiences
about this topic that we will discuss.

(Introduce the panels one by one in formal way to your

audiences and don't forget to greet them)

Hopes all of you was in pink of health. (To the panels)

Without wasting our time, my first question to our first panel,

(Panel 1 name), can you mentions to us about the types of child
abuse that had occurs, especially in Malaysia.
Panel 1 (Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences)

Although there are many formal and acceptable definitions of

child abuse, the following is offered as a guide for information on
child abuse and neglect.
Child abuse consists of any act of commission or omission that
endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health and
development. Child abuse includes any damage done to a child
which cannot be reasonably explained and which is often
represented by an injury or series of injuries appearing to be
non-accidental in nature. There are 4 types of child abuse, it
is physical, sexual, psychological and also neglect that i will
explain to all of you because there are too lots actually. Forms of
all this kinds of child abuse,
1. Physical abuse
Any non-accidental injury to a child. This includes hitting,
kicking, slapping, shaking, burning, pinching, hair pulling,
biting, choking, throwing, shoving, whipping, and paddling.
2. Sexual abuse
Any sexual act between an adult and child. This includes
fondling, penetration, intercourse, exploitation, pornography,
exhibitionism, child prostitution, group sex, oral sex, or forced
observation of sexual acts.
3. Psychological abuse
Psychological abuse, also referred to as emotional
 abuse or mental abuse, is a form of abuse characterized by a
person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that may
result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic
depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Such abuse is
often associated with situations of power imbalance, such
as abusive relationships,bullying, and abuse in the workplace.
4. Neglect abuse
Failure to provide for a child’s physical needs. This includes lack
of supervision, inappropriate housing or shelter, inadequate
provision of food and water, inappropriate clothing for season or
weather, abandonment, denial of medical care and inadequate
hygiene.

Thank you, that all from me.

Chairperson (Thanks to the Panel 1.)

From what of (Pane 1 named) have said. Now we knew that
there are 4 types of child abuse, (mention all the forms of child
abuse.)

Right my next question is to (Panel 2 named). What is the

factors that can cause child abuse? Can you explain its?
Panel 2 (Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences)

Research has uncovered a number of risk factors or attributes

commonly associated with maltreatment. Children in families
and environments where these factors exist have a higher
probability of experiencing maltreatment.
A greater understanding of risk factors can help professionals
working with children and families identify maltreatment and
high-risk situations so they can intervene appropriately. It must
be emphasized, however, that while certain factors often are
present among families where maltreatment occurs, this does
not mean that the presence of these factors necessarily lead to
child abuse and neglect.
Common factors associated with increased risk of child
maltreatment are often categorized as follows:
 Parent or caregiver factors
 Child factors
 Family factors
 Community and environmental factors
 Risk factors for recurrence of child abuse and neglect
 Co-occurring risk factors
Thank you.

Chairperson (Thanks to the Panel 2.)

To make more our forum flare up, (Panel 3 named), you as a

Chief of Police at Bukit Aman Police Station, you must know
about this case statistic. Can you share with us about the child
 abuse statistic.
Panel 3 (Thanks to the chairperson. Greets the audiences)

Child abuse is on the rise in Malaysia with an increase of some

700 reported cases between 2006 and 2008.
Despite significant strides made by the Government in
improving child
protection measures in recent years, statistics from the
Department of
Social Welfare show a rise in reported child abuse cases in
Malaysia:
2008: 2,780 child abuse reports
2007: 2,279 child abuse reports
2006: 1,999 child abuse reports.
Based on 2008 reported figures, neglect is the most common
form of
child abuse in Malaysia. The breakdown of the three key forms
of abuse
are as follows:
952 child victims experienced neglect, meaning a caretaker
failed to provide for the child’s basic needs.
863 child victims were physically abused.
733 child victims were sexually abused, 72% were incest.
58 child victims were abandoned babies.
Failure to provide care and supervision has become the most
frequent
cause of death among children.

Child abuse reports in Malaysia spiked to a record high last

year, according to statistics, as police blame the crime on
misunderstandings and financial difficulties. The number of
physical child abuse cases jumped about 26 percent from 203 in
2009 to 257 in 2010, the highest recorded over the last five
years, Malaysian federal police revealed to local daily.

Thank you.
