INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
All children are born to grow, to develop, to live, to love and articulate their needs and feelings for their self protection. Although growing up can be difficult, most children and young people receive the love and care they need to develop into healthy, happy, young adults. In their development, children need the respect and protection of adults who take care of them seriously, love them, and honestly help them to become oriented in the world.
But some children are hurt, neglected and used by adults or other children. Young children may not be aware that what is happening to them is abuse. Abuse can mean different things to different children, and can happen once or many times during childhood. It has been observed that such abuse on children has adverse effect on their academic and intellectual performance.
(Herbert, 1990) child abuse is any behavior directed towards a child by a parent, a guardian, other family members or another adult that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health or development. Child abuse can take place either as a physical abuse, Sexual abuse, Emotional abuse or Neglect.
A child is physical abused when he/she is hurt or injured by parent or other people. This could be by hitting, kicking, beaten by objects, throwing and shaking of children and can cause pains, cuts, brushes broken bone and sometimes even death.
Sexual abuse is when children are forced or persuaded into sexual acts or situations by others. Children might be encouraged to look at pornographic pictures, be harassed by sexual suggestion or comments, be touched sexually or forced to have sex against their wishes, emotionally children are abused when they are not given love, approval or acceptance.
Statement of the Problem
Child abuse is not just a social problem; it is rather an intellectual and economic problem which is evident in the performance of children in schools. In a situation where over seventy percent (70%) of student that write the WAEC and NECO cannot boast of five credit pass including Mathematics and English Language, then education sector need to be looked into.
A common feature of some Nigerians in the twentieth century is to see and treat children the way they want. They see children as some body who should be seen and not heard, children, should be seen to and not capable to replying who should be abused and neglected. The cultural traditional system continues to relegate the position of children to the background without giving, them their fundamental human right with dignity and the capability of growing and developing to adulthood. (Kolade 2004).
The impact of such cruelty on educational development of the children cannot be over emphasized, such children if at all are provided with opportunity to attend schools are bound to be failures, delinquent, lack conducive home, environments and conducive relationship with peer group in the school.
Kolade, Racheal & Fehintola (2004), carried out a research on the impact of child abuse on student academic performance in secondary school in Oyun Local Government of Kwara State, the out come of the research revealed that child labour adversely affect student performance in school.
To the best knowledge of the researcher, there was however no specification as to the sources of the data analyzed by previous researchers on the abuse of student, which is the gap the researcher wishes to fill on the impact and consequences of child abuse on students’ academic performance.
Also Mbong (2002) in his work on implication of child abuse on the education sector in Nigeria looked at how child labour and abuse has adversely affected the education sector in Nigeria without paying special interest on the children performance.
