Ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokomzimba

Ukuhlukumeza izingane ngokomzimba kuyinkinga enkulu. Nawa amanye amaqiniso:

• Iningi lezingane lihlukunyezwa emakhaya noma ngumuntu ezimaziyo. Kaningi bayamthanda lo muntu, noma bayamesaba, ngakho-ke abatsheli muntu.
• Ukuhlukunyezwa kwengane kungenzeka enganeni yanoma yiluphi uhlanga, inkolo, noma isimo sezomnotho.

Ezinye izinhlobo zokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane yilezi:

• Ukunganakwa nokuhlukunyezwa ngokomzwelo
• Ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi
• I-Shaken baby syndrome

UKUHLUKUNYEZWA KWEZINGANE NGOKOMZIMBA

Ukuhlukunyezwa kwengane kulapho umuntu alimaza ingane ngokomzimba. Ukuhlukunyezwa akuyona ingozi. Nazi izibonelo zokuhlukunyezwa kwengane ngokomzimba:

• Ukushaya nokushaya ingane
• Ukushaya ingane ngento, efana nebhande noma induku
• Ukukhahlela ingane
• Ukushisa ingane ngamanzi ashisayo, ugwayi, noma i-ayina
• Ukubamba ingane ngaphansi kwamanzi
• Ukubopha ingane
• Inyakaza kakhulu ingane

Izimpawu zokuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba enganeni zifaka:

• Ukushintsha okungazelelwe kokuziphatha noma ukusebenza kwesikole
• Izexwayiso, ubheke ukuthi kwenzeke okubi
• Ukulingisa ukuziphatha
• Ukusuka ekhaya kusenesikhathi, ukuya ekhaya sekwephuzile, futhi ngingafuni ukuya ekhaya
• Ukwesaba lapho abantu abadala befika kuye

Ezinye izimpawu zifaka ukulimala okungaqondakali noma incazelo engajwayelekile yokulimala, njenge:

• Amehlo amnyama
• Amathambo aphukile angenakuchazwa (isibonelo, izinsana ezingakhasi noma ukuhamba ngokuvamile azinawo amathambo aphukile)
• Amamaki wokulimaza abunjwe njengezandla, iminwe, noma izinto (njengebhande)
• Imivimbo engeke ichazwe ngemisebenzi ejwayelekile yengane
• I-bulging fontanelle (indawo ethambile) noma ama-suture ahlukanisiwe kugebhezi lwengane
• Amamaki okushisa, njengokushisa kukagwayi
• Amaki okuminyanisa entanyeni
• Amamaki ayisiyingi azungeze izihlakala noma amaqakala kusuka ekujikeni noma ekuboshweni
• Izimpawu zokulunywa kwabantu
• Amamaki wokuqhuma
• Ukuquleka okungachazeki enganeni

Izimpawu eziyisixwayiso zokuthi umuntu omdala angahlukumeza ingane:

• Awukwazi ukuchaza noma unikeze izincazelo eziyinqaba zokulimala kwengane
• Ukhuluma ngengane ngendlela engeyinhle
• Usebenzisa isiyalo esinokhahlo
• Wayehlukunyezwa esemncane
• Izinkinga zotshwala noma izidakamizwa
• Izinkinga ezingokomzwelo noma ukugula kwengqondo
• Ukucindezeleka okuphezulu
• Ayibheki inhlanzeko noma ukunakekelwa kwengane
• Kubonakala sengathi ayithandi noma ayinandaba nengane
  

SIZA INGANE EHLUPHEKILE

Funda ngezimpawu zokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane. Yazi ukuthi ingane ingahlukunyezwa nini. Thola usizo kusenesikhathi ngezingane ezihlukunyeziwe.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi ingane iyahlukunyezwa, xhumana nomhlinzeki wezempilo, amaphoyisa, noma izinsizakalo zokuvikela izingane edolobheni lakho, esifundeni noma esifundazweni sakho.

• Shayela u-911 noma inombolo yendawo ephuthumayo yanoma iyiphi ingane esengozini ngokushesha ngenxa yokuhlukunyezwa noma ukunganakwa.
• Ungashayela futhi i-Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline ku-1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). Abeluleki bezinkinga batholakala amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyi-7 ngeviki. Abahumushi bayatholakala ukusiza ngezilimi eziyi-170. Umeluleki ocingweni angakusiza ukuthi ubone ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo ongazithatha ngokulandelayo. Zonke izingcingo azaziwa futhi ziyimfihlo.

UKUTHOLA USIZO LWENGANE NOMNDENI

Ingane ingadinga ukwelashwa nokwelulekwa. Izingane ezihlukunyezwayo zingalimala kanzima. Izingane nazo zingaba nezinkinga ezingokomzwelo.

Amaqembu okweluleka nokweseka ayatholakala ezinganeni nakubazali abahlukumezayo abafuna ukuthola usizo.

Kuneminyango kahulumeni noma eminye kahulumeni noma ama-ejensi abhekele ukuvikelwa kwezingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka eyi-18. Izinhlangano ezivikela izingane zivame ukunquma ukuthi ngabe ingane kufanele iye ekunakekelweni ngabazali noma ingabuyela ekhaya. Ama-ejensi wokuvikela izingane ngokuvamile enza yonke imizamo yokuhlanganisa imindeni uma kungenzeka. Uhlelo luyehluka kuye ngesifundazwe, kepha imvamisa lubandakanya inkantolo yomndeni noma inkantolo ephethe amacala okuhlukunyezwa kwezingane.
