An example of a child at risk is a child living in a home with ongoing domestic violence. In this situation, the child is at risk of experiencing physical and emotional harm from the violence, as well as experiencing long-term psychological effects.

Another example of a child at risk is a child living in a home with ongoing drug or alcohol abuse. In this situation, the child may be exposed to dangerous substances, as well as to neglect and other forms of abuse or neglect.

Children who are living in poverty, who are experiencing chronic illness, or who are living in a home where there is mental illness or other challenges may also be at risk of experiencing harm or neglect.

It’s important to note that any child can be at risk, regardless of background or circumstances. If you suspect a child is at risk or experiencing harm or neglect, it’s important to seek help from a trusted healthcare provider or child protective services as soon as possible. Early intervention can help to prevent further harm and ensure that the child receives the support and resources they need to thrive.
