In the United States there is an estimate of about 906,000 children that are victims of child abuse which falls in the categories of neglect, also child abuse can be sexual or sometimes even emtional. child abuse happens in many different ways the one that is most striking/shocking is physical abuse because it usually leave marks used foer evidence.
child abuse can happen for many different types of complicated reasons one of them is havig a history of child abuse some of these parents that abuse their children more than likely where also abuse. they claim that that's the way they grew up and that they dont know any better. some parents also abuse their children because of so called "stress" and lack of support . being a parent is not always easy specially on teenagers when these young adults become parents they are still sometimes children minded they still want to do things as before like going to parties and hanging out with friends and they get upset because it is not possible like before now they have responsibility and obligations and dont know how to balance it or sometimes dont have the help of an adult to guide them. alcohol and drugs are also sometimes excuses of child abuse
due to their severe intoxication they dont really know whats really happening or all the harm they can cause.
may people argue the fact that they just are trying to discipline their children but in my opinion i think that to discipline a child you dont have to beat them, push them,or pull their hair. there are many other ways to discipline a child for eample talking to the child and giving the child rules and regulations thet he or she need to folllow.

I understand what you mean. I work with kids at an after school program. We have a lot of cases of child abuse especially sexual abuse or physical abuse. For example, there is this one case of two children who are brother and sister. Their own father sexually abused them. Now the two kids live with their mother. When the brother and sister came to the after school program we had to know about their past just for records. It is very hard for me knowing that these kids i work with have these sort of problems. The two kids were very loving but went to far a couple of times either with a counselor or another kid. The brother and sister would touch them in a personal area. We had to explain to them why they shouldn't do that and why it was inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on this topic because I myself have a 4 year old daughter, and I can not imagine ever hurting her. She is my life and when I hear abut child abuse and kids dying it hurts me to my heart. No child deserves to be treated that way.
ReplyDeleteGood first post, but be sure to "hide" the ugly URL (http://) like we discussed in class.
ReplyDeleteGood post! The information you provided was very interesting. It kills me to hear stories such as this, but it is in fact very true. It all goes back to how the parents were brought up and that's the kind of the life the child will experience. There is definitely several other ways to go about this. Let's just hope one day someone finds that way!
