The available literature on child abuse apparently conveys that victims of child abuse are gender-neutral. Physical abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect are the major forms of abuse faced by child victims. Cases of prolonged child abuse are found to have a connection with lifelong impacts on those victims. On the other hand, victimization of child abuse is not sufficiently reported corresponding to the actual number of occurrences due to several reasons. Hence, the researchers of the present study focus on understanding the magnitude and extent of different forms of child abuse, the reasons for the non-reporting behavior of its victims, and to explore the impacts of victimization of child abuse among its adult victims. Kerala, the state which tops in Human Development Index was chosen for the study. A convenient sampling method was used to reach the samples. A link for a briefly constructed ‘Google form’ was sent to the participants through Email, WhatsApp groups and Instagram to elicit the responses from the respondents. 150 participants aged 18-25 years are included in the sample size which covers all the districts of Kerala. Analysis of the result shows that more than one-fourth of respondents have faced at least one form of abuse during their childhood. Psychological impacts are found to be common with the victims. Though government efforts are appreciable, increased surveillance by the government is mandatory to get every such case reported and immediate actions are to be taken. Consistent awareness and training should be given by the experts to children, parents, teachers and law enforcement officers to prevent and deal with child abuse.
