This website was very helpful to me. It is a very good source because it really analyzes the different types of abuse so that you can understand what it is. It uses research because it uses statistics about the American National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and the percentages and rate of how many men and women were abused in a certain time period.

This website is very resourceful because it is about a 30 year follow-up of the effects of child abuse and neglect on obesity in adulthood. I think  that  this is a great observation about the effects of child abuse. The authors of this article are Tyrone Bentley and Cathy S. Widom.

 This article is from the newspaper USA Today discussing what  the Michigan Republican Scott Brown went through as a child. This article is from February of 2011. He has been abused by two stepfathers and had two sexual predators as a child. I think that website is really resourceful because it's about an article from a newspaper.

I found this website to be one of the most  resourceful. It tells of the immediate effects of child abuse and the specific immediate effects of each type of child abuse. It also gives statistics of long range effects of child abuse.
