Abstract
In the last five years, there has been a decrease in the number of registered parents who abuse or abandon their children. The decrease is reflected in the number of children who are provided with social welfare treatment because of endangered development within the family. The research of psycho-social aspects of abuse and abandonment of children in the family has shown that its decrease is not the result of an actual decrease in the number of children whose development in the family has been jeopardized but rather that the so called “dark figure” has increased in the years of war. The paper contains some suggestions for more successful early detection, registration, prevention and treatment of abused and abandoned children in the family.
