(Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - Child Abuse"). Until fairly recently, our legal system felt that children were the property of the parents and any neglect or abuse was not a legal issue but an option of the parents. Although there were laws forbidding cruelty to animals, no such laws existed for the protection of children Our legal system was shamed into enacting child abuse laws when an en­ terprising attorney filed criminal charges against abusive parents for cruelty to animals--the animals being their children We have grown as a society to the point that we not only have very specific laws defining abuse and neglect of children, but also provide a wide variety of treatment* programs for abusive or potentially abusive parents. There has been an emphasis on what must be done after a child is abused * For instance, any health care giver is required under penalty of law to report any child neglect or suspected abuse cases. Also, the Department of Children and Family Services may assume custody and guar­ dianship of abused children and require the parents to enter into a treatment program More recently, there has been an emphasis on prevention of child abuse - treating potential abusers before the abuse takes place. In our county, there is a special "hot line" for parents who feel they may abuse their children. There is group and individual treatment available for people to deal with this emotional problem before it becomes a legal problem. The causes of child abuse are complex but seldom correlate very highly with the "difficulty" of a par­ ticular child. That is, a contented, complacent child is just as likely to be abused as a whiney, colicky child. Most abusive parents have themselves been abused as children Even the most educated, sophisticated person may be a child abuser! Most child abusers, while abusing the child, tell themselves that they are disciplining the child and the child is selfish and thinks only of himself. The difference between a child abuser and other parents is that the child abuser acts on the impulses that every other parent feels but keeps from doing. Child abuse is an illness, not simply an expression of temper and it must be treated professionally. 11 FORMAL WEAR RENTALS . for ALL OCCASIONS Stewl .... (K (JJ-l flu/. I 21 t V (.rrrn St..

The legislation would require that parents transporting children under the age of 5 in automobiles place them in federally approved child car seats. Studies in other states have shown that increased use of child car seats in Illinois could reduce child auto fatalities by 90 percent and disabling injuries by 70 percent.
