Abstract
The issue of abuse has been given serious attention in many parts of the world and Nigeria is not left out. Given this serious effort, one would have thought that this menace will not persist. Child abuse occurs not only at home but has found its way into the school system thus constituting a barrier to the interest and subsequent attainment of sound educational development in the country. The aim of the present study was to investigate youth attitudes towards abuse and their associate variables in Jalingo. The main focus was on their definition of abuse, most common abuse types they suffered from and what they think can help to reduce it. A sample of the youth population from Mallum (n=824), Nukkia (n=401), Sabon Gari (n=619), Bakasi (n=354) and other Neighbouring clad (n=326) participated in the study, Data was analyzed using mean standard deviation, descriptive statistics, and Chi square goodness of fit. The results showed that the definition of child abuse (in order of intensity) is sexual abuse, Physical punishment, blaming, inattention, frightening, and beating.Considering the results of this study, there must be an urgent clarification of child abuse definition specifically the role of the victim along with a well organized policy in promoting parental education in terms of effective parenting which may enhance their learning skills and general performance.
