ABSTRACT
Every passing
day, as cases of child abuse and neglect increase in number
and forms meted on children in Uganda, family and community
safety nets that used to act as a buffer for child
protection also keep fading. The abuse is in part blamed on
parents who are entering family life ill prepared to raise
children while maintaining an exclusive life oblivious of a
supportive community around them. Use of law enforcement to
bring some of the abuse perpetrators to justice also seem
not be working to meet the expectations of the public. This
article explores how family and community partnerships can
be used to mentor parents to become their children’s role
models and minimize incidences of child abuse.
Key Words: Child abuse, Neglect, Family, Partnerships
