Positive community approaches include all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. Programs which focus only on parents who have abused their children
• B. Public awareness campaigns about child safety
• C. Family support services and resources
• D. Community partnerships with schools and agencies

Answer: (A)

Positive community approaches focus on prevention, support, and collaboration that benefit all children and families. They involve broad education, accessible resources, and partnerships across settings like schools and agencies. The option that doesn’t fit is the one that targets only parents who have abused their children. This approach is narrow and stigmatizing, reactive after harm has occurred, and misses the universal, preventative intent of positive community strategies. In contrast, public awareness campaigns educate the whole community, family support services provide help to families in need, and partnerships with schools and agencies coordinate resources to keep children safe.
