COMPUTERIZED CHILD ABUSE DATABASE MANAGEMENT TRACKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

Computerized Child Abuse Database Management Tracking System is a project proposed to create awareness among masses on the issues related to child abuse. The computerized system will keep tracks of all the suspicious incidents of child abuse by generating reports, aid law enforcement agency based on numerous details. Implementing this computerized system will play a crucial role in child welfare. The management system and data collection tools will meet with the Federal reporting requirements, it will also serve the information needs of an organizations, help inform management decisions and support caseworkers' interactions with children, youth, and families. The methodology adopted in this study is the structure system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object oriented programming as well as visual modeling throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. Child abuse and child neglect are social challenges that influences countless underage individuals and something must be done to change these problems. They is a need to design a computerized child abuse and neglect database management system to help combat this issue.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background of Study

The increased Violence against young people includes all types of violence, these occurs for ages between 0-18 years old. This violence may be child maltreatment (i.e. sexual and emotional abuse, neglect or physical violence) mostly between parents or other authority figures. Both genders (boys or girls) are at same risk of physical assault and emotional neglect and abuse, the females are at greater risk of sexual abuse or violence, this mostly leads to unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. As young people between this age groups reaches adolescence, peer violence and intimate partner violence, in addition to child maltreatment, becomes highly unavoidable. Violence against children can be avoided by setting up preventable measures. Preventing and addressing to violence against children requires that efforts the society, health workers and other organizations to systematically address the risk and protective factors at all four interrelated levels of risk (individual, relationship, community, society). World Health Assembly (May 2016), reached a resolution which endorsed the first ever WHO Global plan of action on tightening the roles of the health system within a national multi-sectoral response to fight against child neglect, interpersonal violence in particular against girls and women, and against children. The Online child abuse database management system when implemented, will be an application developed to move beyond addressing the impact of child abuse by seeking out the root cause and identifying ways to prevent it. This is an application created to trace out the statistics based on the reports about child abuse and help reduce the rates of the crime. It will maintain a centralized database of all scheme related information. This computerized system verifies and generate reports of incidents about abusive parents, physical and sexual abuse. The Child abuse application will maintain vital information about child abuse laws, it will provide details about those children who are in risk. Encounter the challenges with proper documentations which include misplacement of vital information or cases, as a result of large volume of work handled duplicated or efforts due to inconsistency in activities, and a lot of time spent in searching for files or reports when needed for processing.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

The existing system, which is a manual process requires modification and replacement to enhance its effectiveness, they exist a lot of challenges associated with the old and existing system. The existing system faces numerous challenges due to the manual procedure of recording and keeping track of child abuse victims, which may include:

A lot of paper work is required to keep vital information, which may lead to lost or damage.
Unauthorized users can easily have access to sensitive information.
Processing time is slow and lengthy, most times data is duplicated.
Keeping multiple folders of child abuse report manually takes a lot of time and resources and some of the information is unreliable and inaccurate.

1.3 Aim and Objectives Of Study

The primary objective of the project is to comprehend the challenges of the current system and to recognize the essential requirements and discuss how the computerization of the system can help in eradicating the challenges of the manual based system, with the following objectives:

To design a functionally database system for child abuse offenders and victims.
To compute child abuse records for easy retrieval.
To design a software that will deny access to unauthorized personnel.
To provide information that will help in the fight against child abuse across the country.

1.4 Scope Of Study

This study is not limited to or within any agency; it is designed and developed for the prevention and protection against child Abuse and Neglect.

1.5 Limitations of the Study

The computerized system will be able to compute children abused over recent years, store complainant and offenders’ records for easy retrieval, since is the system is a web-based application, it will require internet access to be enable to access information on the platform. During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:

Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
Establishment Policies: Establishment policies posed a serious limitation as most staffs are not ready to release information needed for this project work. There were lots of information needed from the staffs of this institution to enhance the study which took them time to release or they did not release at all for security purposes, hence the scope was reduced.
Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.

1.6 Significance of Study

Child abuse and child neglect are social challenges that influences countless underage individuals, and something must be done to change these problems. They is a need to design a computerized child abuse and neglect database management system to help combat this issue. With findings from the research, it will help law enforcement agency, organizations and other agencies to solve the issues and challenges associated with inability to keep precise records effectively and reduce loss of vital information or reported cases. Furthermore, reduce the rate of child abuse across the country. This study will also be beneficial to scholars who want to do additional research on the study.

Besides, the study will serve as reference material for subsequent researcher in the field or related topics.
