DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED CHILD ABUSE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED CHILD ABUSE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The rising violence against young people encompasses all forms of violence and affects persons aged 0 to 18. Child maltreatment (i.e. sexual and emotional abuse, neglect, or physical assault) is the most common form of violence between parents or other authority figures. Although all genders (boys and girls) are equally vulnerable to physical attack and mental neglect and abuse, females are more vulnerable to sexual abuse or violence, which can result in unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted illnesses. Peer violence and intimate partner violence, as well as child abuse, become increasingly inevitable when young individuals between these age groups enter adolescence. Preventable measures can be put in place to prevent violence towards children. To prevent and respond to violence against children, society, health care providers, and other organizations must work together to systematically address risk and protective variables at all four levels of risk (individual, relationship, community, society). The World Health Assembly (May 2016) passed a resolution endorsing the first-ever WHO global plan of action on strengthening the role of the health system in a national multisectoral response to child neglect, interpersonal violence, particularly against girls and women, and violence against children. When fully deployed, the online child abuse database management system will be an application designed to go beyond addressing the effects of child abuse to identifying the core cause and developing measures to avoid it. This is an application designed to track data based on reports of child abuse in order to assist lower crime rates. It will keep track of all scheme-related data in a single database. This automated system checks and generates reports of events involving abusive parents, physical and sexual abuse, and other types of abuse. The Child Abuse database will save important information on child abuse laws as well as information about children who are at danger. Misplacement of essential information or cases as a consequence of a huge volume of work handled, duplication or efforts owing to irregularity in operations, and a lot of time spent searching for files or reports when needed for processing are all problems with appropriate documentation.

 

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

For a system to require some modification, there must be some existing problems associated with the old or existing system that prompted to it. This organization faces numerous problems due to the manual methods of recording include; Inefficient and ineffective security measures in order to avoid loss of data by unauthorized users. The keeping and retrieval of accurate data or records on child abuse, complainant and offenders which are poorly carried out, wrongly filed and placed, hence it is not easy to obtain accurate information the length of time required for processing client report is much, it results to unnecessary duplication of report and also causes loss of documents.

 

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aim of this work is to design a comprehensive database management system for child abuse and the specific objectives are to.

 

To compute and achieve child abuse records

To process and achieve each record

To analyze each record

To produce event report in demand

 

1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

 

This research is a Nigerian based Computerized child Abuse Database management system; it was created with the goal of preventing and protecting children from abuse and neglect.

 

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

 

Child abuse and neglect are societal issues that affect a large number of young people, and something must be done to address them. To tackle this problem, a computerized child abuse and neglect database management system is required. The conclusions of the study will assist law enforcement agencies, organizations, and other agencies in resolving difficulties and obstacles connected with the inability to retain accurate records and reducing the loss of critical information or reported cases. Reduce the prevalence of child abuse across the country. Scholars who desire to undertake more research on the subject will benefit from this study.

 

1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The computerized system will be able to calculate the number of children who have been abused in recent years, as well as save complainant and offender data for quick retrieval. Because the system is web-based, it will require internet connectivity to access information on the platform.
