This book addresses the endangerment of children's bodies in
affluent societies. Bodily integrity is an important part of a
child's physical and mental well-being, but it can also be violated
through various threats during childhood; not only affecting
physical health but also causing mental damage and leading to
distortions in the development of the self. The authors give an
account of three areas, which present different serious dangers:
(1) body and eating, (2) body and sexuality, and (3) body and
violence. Through an in-depth examination of the available
theoretical and empirical knowledge, as well as a thorough ethical
analysis, the central injustices in the mentioned areas are
identified and the agents with responsibilities towards children
displayed. The authors conclude by providing invaluable insight
into the necessity of an ethical basis for policies to safeguard
children and their bodies.
