In an increasingly technological world, the internet has created a new venue for the abuse of children in various forms. I believe that online abuse against children should be considered a subsection of child abuse, thus I propose an addition to the child abuse wikipedia page found here. Online abuse of children takes various forms, from cyberbullying to sexual abuse via webcams and pornography etc. I would like to add the subsection of online abuse as follows.
1. Online abuse as type 2.5 under the subsection “types” a. Cyberbullying as the first topic, seeing as it is the most common form of online abuse and most widely known
i. Forms it takes
1. Social media, texting etc. 2. catfishing
ii. Statistics iii. Impact iv. Laws surrounding the matter
b. Sexual abuse as a second topic
i. Forms
1. Pornography 2. unsolicited sexual images 3. webcam abuse
ii. statistics iii. impact iv. laws
c. Grooming as the third topic
i. Forms
1. Chatrooms 2. Social networks
ii. Statistics iii. Impact iv. Laws

In a long list of symptoms, almost all with internal links, PTSD has no link which makes it look lesser than other symptoms.
I see that PTSD is described in its full name elsewhere in the article, and linked to an internal page. It seems to only have the one link in the entire article.
However, some other symptoms, eg depression, are linked multiple times.
I know from my decade of work with survivors of Child Sexaul Abuse that PTSD is a significant area of problem. Notably, because most of PTSD symptoms are invisible, there is a risk that they are undiagnosed, untreated, unacknowledged. This makes it an almost certain source of self-criticism, doubt and guilt all of which I believe contribute to depression and other symptoms.
I think it would be proportional to provide the same link as used elsewhere in the article. DS0022 ( talk) 16:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
