Different jurisdictions have developed their own definitions of what constitutes child abuse for the purposes of removing a child from his/her family and/or prosecuting a criminal charge. According to the Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect, child abuse is "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm".[3]

22.06.2012 When Passion Kills ALLOW me to express my views on the recent increase in passion killings. The nation is outraged, shocked and incensed at the increasing number of passion killings. The story is usually the same; boy and girl are in what seems to be a happy relationship, girl decides it’s not working for her and breaks off relations with boy, boy is not happy and proceeds to kill girl and then he kills himself. Usually in that order but situations tend to vary. Namibians are very peaceful people unless of course it’s 3 a.m. at a bar in Eveline Street or an RDP rally in northern Namibia staged in a Swapo stronghold in both cases things get violent. We are also very reactionary beings; we never anticipate, we just wait till the situation gets out of hand before we take action.
