ABSTRACT

Digitalization of the Child Abuse System is a project proposed to create awareness among masses on the issues related to child abuse. The computerized system will keep tracks of all the suspicious incidents of child abuse by generating reports, aid law enforcement agency based on numerous details. Implementing this computerized system will play a crucial role in child welfare. The aim of the study is to digitalize the manual child abuse tracking system. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to design a functionally database system for child abuse offenders and victims, compute child abuse records for easy retrieval and design a software that will deny access to unauthorized personnel.

The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that a lot of paper work is required to keep vital information, which may lead to lost or damage and there is unauthorized users can easily have access to sensitive information.

The methodology adopted in this study is the structure system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object oriented programming as well as visual modeling throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. Child abuse and child neglect are social challenges that influences countless underage individuals and something must be done to change these problems. They is a need to design a computerized child abuse and neglect database management system to help combat this issue. The expected result is a computerized of the Child Abuse System that will deny access to unauthorized personnel and help in the fight against child abuse across the country.


Digitalization of the Child Abuse System

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Child abuse or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, and/or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or a caregiver. Child abuse may include any act or failure to act by a parent or a caregiver that results in actual or potential harm to a child and can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools, or communities the child interacts with. The terms child abuse and child maltreatment are often used interchangeably, although some researchers make a distinction between them, treating child maltreatment as an umbrella term to cover neglect, exploitation, and trafficking. Different jurisdictions have developed their own stance towards mandatory reporting, different definitions of what constitutes child abuse to remove children from their families or for prosecuting a criminal charge (Wikipedia, 2021).

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of the Study

The increased Violence against young people includes all types of violence, these occurs for ages between 0-18 years old. This violence may be child maltreatment (i.e. sexual and emotional abuse, neglect or physical violence) mostly between parents or other authority figures. Both genders (boys or girls) are at same risk of physical assault and emotional neglect and abuse, the females are at greater risk of sexual abuse or violence, this mostly leads to unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. As young people between this age groups reaches adolescence, peer violence and intimate partner violence, in addition to child maltreatment, becomes highly unavoidable. Violence against children can be avoided by setting up preventable measures. Preventing and addressing to violence against children requires that efforts the society, health workers and other organizations to systematically address the risk and protective factors at all four interrelated levels of risk (individual, relationship, community, society). World Health Assembly (May 2016), reached a resolution which endorsed the first ever WHO Global plan of action on tightening the roles of the health system within a national multi-sectoral response to fight against child neglect, interpersonal violence in particular against girls and women, and against children. The Online child abuse database management system when implemented, will be an application developed to move beyond addressing the impact of child abuse by seeking out the root cause and identifying ways to prevent it. This is an application created to trace out the statistics based on the reports about child abuse and help reduce the rates of the crime. It will maintain a centralized database of all scheme related information. This computerized system verifies and generate reports of incidents about abusive parents, physical and sexual abuse. The Child abuse application will maintain vital information about child abuse laws, it will provide details about those children who are in risk. Encounter the challenges with proper documentations which include misplacement of vital information or cases, as a result of large volume of work handled duplicated or efforts due to inconsistency in activities, and a lot of time spent in searching for files or reports when needed for processing.


1.3 Statement of the Problem

The existing system, which is a manual process requires modification and replacement to enhance its effectiveness, they exist a lot of challenges associated with the old and existing system. The existing system faces numerous challenges due to the manual procedure of recording and keeping track of child abuse victims, which may include:

  1. A lot of paper work is required to keep vital information, which may lead to lost or damage.
  2. Unauthorized users can easily have access to sensitive information.
  3. Processing time is slow and lengthy, most times data is duplicated.
  4. Keeping multiple folders of child abuse report manually takes a lot of time and resources and some of the information is unreliable and inaccurate.

1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to digitalize the manual child abuse tracking system. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

  1. To design a functionally database system for child abuse offenders and victims.
  2. To compute child abuse records for easy retrieval.
  3. To design a software that will deny access to unauthorized personnel.
  4. To provide information that will help in the fight against child abuse across the country.

1.5 Significance of Study

Child abuse and child neglect are social challenges that influences countless underage individuals, and something must be done to change these problems. They is a need to design a computerized child abuse and neglect database management system to help combat this issue. With findings from the research, it will help law enforcement agency, organizations and other agencies to solve the issues and challenges associated with inability to keep precise records effectively and reduce loss of vital information or reported cases. Furthermore, reduce the rate of child abuse across the country. This study will also be beneficial to scholars who want to do additional research on the study.

Besides, the study will serve as reference material for subsequent researcher in the field or related topics.


1.6 Scope of Study

The scope of this research focuses on the Digitalization of the Child Abuse System. This study is not limited to or within any agency; it is designed and developed for the prevention and protection against child Abuse and Neglect.


1.7 Limitations of Study

The computerized system will be able to compute children abused over recent years, store complainant and offenders’ records for easy retrieval, since is the system is a web-based application, it will require internet access to be enable to access information on the platform. During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:

  1. Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
  2. Establishment Policies: Establishment policies posed a serious limitation as most staffs are not ready to release information needed for this project work. There were lots of information needed from the staffs of this institution to enhance the study which took them time to release or they did not release at all for security purposes, hence the scope was reduced.
  3. Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
  4. Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.

1.8 Definition of Terms

  • Child: Child is defined as the dependent person in the custody of a parent or guardian for protection of his/her life.
  • Abuse: It is any deliberate act by a person, group of person in the society designed to inflict on a child mentally, physically sexually or emotionally.
  • Neglect: This usually occur when families fail to or on their own part fail to provide the necessary need for their children such as food, medical care, being deprived of essential need of life.
