  • Note: All child abuse cases are different and can be molestation to rape and murder. This is the most publicized case of child abuse by the media, but not the worse case in California history was the abuse of Dave Pelzer and the abused stopped on March 5, 1973. Until he was the age of four he was treated very well by his parents, but then the loving and safety of his home changed to Horror when it was replaced with fear, starvation and being chained to a toilet and he knew nothing but fear and loneliness. David Pelzer has a book out, called 'A Child Called it' and it won the Pulitzer Prize.You can read more about David Pelzer on the website below. http://adoption.about.com/od/guidereviews/fr/childcalledit.htm

This is a subjective thing which really cannot be answered. In a sense, every child abuse case is the worst, at least for that child.

There have been horrible real life cases like that of Debra Luptak. The Xctasy Garcia case is probably one of the worst. They poured bleach in her eyes, covered her with cigarette burns, and shattered most of the malnourished bones in her body. The thing was that Social Services did nothing. In fact, unknown to the social workers in her current state was that the mother was already on another state's child abuse registry.

There is a book called "Satan's Underground." While the veracity is uncertain in light of the "Satanic Ritual Abuse" scandals, the book has a heart-rending tale.

There have also been severe child abuse hoaxes. The Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) stories of the 1980's were horrible. Thankfully, they were not true for the most part. Many of the alleged acts were impossible, and there were no credible witnesses. The few witnesses that existed were subject to hypnosis or were coerced, so it seems the police created witnesses where there were none. Sadly, there were probably some copycat cases and splinter groups which did abuse in the name of "Satan," but there was no single organized ritual abuse movement as law enforcement officers and self-proclaimed experts asserted. Some did however use the controversy as a cover for criminal activities, and that is what inspired the father who put poison in the Halloween candy and blamed "Satanists."

If there is suspected child abuse then the first thing that should be done is the police should be involved. Once the local police department is called they will place the case in the care of Child Protective Services and a lawyer will be provided for the child.


Is it a crime if your four year old step daughter walks in and sees you and your wife having sex her father claims it is Child Abuse or Endangerment?

No. Child abuse is sexually exploiting the child, that is not happening here - she is just being exposed to it. Because she was not forced to watch it happen, she just walked in, it is not a case of either child abuse or endangerment.

What are a child's rights in a custody case when they have witnessed and have been a victim of abuse?

There is no 'one answer fits all' for such questions. Each case is looked at individually. The rights of the child are protected by the court. It is the responsibility of the adults who care for the child to bring the abuse to the attention of the court and insist that the court appoint an advocate for the child and an investigator to examine the child's experiences and environment. There must always be an adult to help enforce a child's rights.
