CHILD ABUSE JUSTICE

  • Educational neglect occurs when a child is denied access to adequate education due to systemic failures or intentional misconduct by institutions responsible for their care and education. This form of neglect can significantly hinder a child’s development, learning opportunities, and future prospects, often necessitating legal intervention to hold institutions accountable and secure the child’s right to a proper education.

  • School bullying, especially targeting children with special needs or disabilities, involves repeated harm, harassment, or intimidation that can severely impact a child’s emotional well-being and educational experience.
