Capstone Project Statement of Intent

1. The goals of my project are to help prevent Child abuse, both physically and mentally. I believe that parents should have more information about how serious and frequent this issue is. Parents, guardians and teachers should be more aware of child abuse and i believe there should be more help out there for children. Child abuse is not taken as serious as it should. It could cause severe physical and mental health for a child, if not death.

2. It is very important for children to feel safe and be safe. Neglecting children may cause severe psychological damages to the child. Physical and mental challenges for children may cause death. Child abuse is rising in our communities and it needs to stop. Nobody should have to go through that danger.

3. I am not fully sure what my career will end up being as I grow up, but I have two thoughts in mind. I want to be a pediatrician or an elementary school teacher. Both of these careers deal with children and adolescents. Child abuse will be part of those careers and I want to be able to make a difference in children's lives.

4. My project will help bring more awareness of this problem and help show people that we are not doing enough to stop child abuse.

5.

• People: Help children and families stop abusive situations.
• Economics: By stopping child abuse, children will not have to be put in hospitals, mental classes, or children being taken away from their families.
• Environment: Stop many deaths and live in safer communities.
