IMPACT OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Children and youth are ususally not recognised as subjects of human rights and adults can place arbitary limits on their fundamental freedoms.

Fundamental freedoms are very dependent on the good will of adults.

In Canada, as in all countries of the world, some children are particularly vulnerable.

Aborginal children and youth with disabilities are mostly abused and neglected children and refugee children and youth were found to be particularly at risk.

Aborginal Canadians have a disability rate that is more than twice the national average.

Aborginal children are at a greater risk of school failure than other Canadian children and youth.

A disproportionate number of Aborginal children and youth are at a greater risk of school failure than other Canadian children.

They are the victims of abuse and neglect in comparison to non- aborginal children and youth.

The suicide rate among Aborginal youth is about five times the national rate.

An estimate 535,000 children and youth under age 20 have some form of disability.

ARTICLE 19, requires countries to take broad measures to protect children from maltreatment, including violence, abuse and neglect.

In Canada, provinial and territoral child welfare systems are responsible for child protection.

Child welfare legislation recognizes that families are primarily responsible for the care, supervision and protection of their children but when a child is at risk, the government has the duty to intervene to protect the child.

ROLE OF MEDIA:

The media play a powerful role in todays youth.

Television shoudnt be a scapegoat for the problems we face, but it should be part of the solutions.

For these reasons, we were pleased to gather many of the country's top entertainment industry producers and executives along with leading academics, advocates and childrens experts, to explore a number of important issues.

:arrow: What role can and do the media paly in helping the youth develop a sound sense of values to prepare them for the many difficult chioces they need to make in the years ahead?

:arrow: What can be done to ameliuorate the negative messages many children may currently be receiving through the media?

:arrow: What steps can be taken to promote tolerance and respect by improving the quality of portrayals of women and minorities on programming watched by children?

Television has become todays story-teller.

By age of 18, the average child will have watched 22,000 hours of TV- more time in front of the tube than in the classroom.

CERTAIN TIPS ON WATCHING TV:

:arrow: Start early in talking with your kids and youth about the movies and the programmes they watch

:arrow: Put your family on a Family TV diet.

:arrow: Talk with your children about setting TV rules for the family.

:arrow: Make it a point to watch the programmes with your children whenever possible.

:arrow: Look for special programmes that help your people deal with "hot button" topics such as drugs, alcohol, sex and peer pressure.

:arrow: Be aware of fast-breaking news stories with violent or sexual content.
