Assuming that child abuse within the family is a social problem Romania is facing, the present article analyzes the forms of manifestation of this phenomenon, of this trial which thousands of children experience yearly. The focus is particularly on how the abuse affects the child’s development and personality, through consequences displayed both on short-term and long-term. There are analyzed not only the negative effects at the physiological and somatical level, but also those at the psychological, emotional, educational and relational level, going forward towards the effects on the place of the individual in society and even the later adult. Taking into account these issues, is emphasized the indispensability of the social support offered to children – victims of family abuse - towards rehabilitation, adaptation and re-establishment and, especially, the role of the social worker as a source of the formal social support.
