Abuse: Child abuse: Includes physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse and psychological harm. Physical abuse is non-accidental physical trauma or injury inflicted by a parent or caretaker on a child. Neglect is defined as failure to provide for a child's physical survival needs to the extent that there is harm or risk of harm to the child's health or safety. Sexual abuse includes indecent exposure, inappropriate touching, penetration, and the manufacturing of pornography. Psychological harm is a repeated pattern of caregiver behavior or extreme incident(s) that convey to children that they are worthless. (Taken from Tennessee mandatory reporting regulations) Spousal abuse: We define domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economical, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone. (Taken from the US Department of Justice) Harm: To Self - This would involve threats or attempts to injure, maim, or to kill oneself (suicide). This could include cutting, disfiguring, or planning/attempting suicide. All threats of physical harm should be taken seriously. To Others - This would include threats or attempts to injure or kill (homicide) another person. It is an extreme act of violence that is often driven by a strong desire for revenge. This person may feel as though they have been wronged or believe this is the only way to protect themselves or a loved one. Are any of the Red Flag Statements below true for you?
