CHILD ABUSE
December 19, 2006 - 03:42 PM

I want to know kno my parent abuse their children?
I think the parents hit on their children because they lost a love one ,was abuse when they was younger, achool, or they think they should be with their children I think they are wrong because children is a blessing and those was hurt cause they didn't think their parents would do that to them and the children don't know how to be a child no more and it is sad and I just want to know how can parents do something like that to their children

agreed.

parents must not abuse thier children, but some how they are allowed to prevent thier children from things that are harmful for thier future and thier health. at that time when a child does not know good and bad as much as to decide which one to go for, parents can advise and prevent thier child from doing bad.

abuse, if physical and mental torture, is not allowed, and somehow immoral, coz will have a negative impact on the mind of the child and teh positive goal of (protecing child health) will be defeated.

Personally have seen in some African cultures where a child will be beaten up because the parent want the other sex, somewhere in the West Coast, a male child are not valued hence are treated harshly, while in some areas the can't do without male child likewise female are treated abnormally.....i hope this is a sort of child abuse or what do you think of this?mad

You sound like you know what you are talking about from up-close observation. Have you seen somebody being hit? Or were you hit by your parents? Its OK to talk about it, if you want emotional support.

As for why this happens, blame it on pure, simple sadism. There is never an excuse for treating your child this way.

smilewvanbokk you are completely right. It is okay to talk about it, but most kids never want to. Embarrassment and harrassment can lead from these, it should always be understanding for this situation. I have a friend from childhood who was abused by her father. He was a drunk. Not only did he abuse her but his 2 other daughters and his wife. My friend told me in confidence and i told my mom. I know i did the right thing because i know my friend, she would never say anything to anyone about it. My mom talked to her mom and then for some reason, after all this time, she left him. Parents can be abusive for losing a job, losing a loved one, had horrible childhoods and want to take it out on someone who cannot and will not fight back, stress, alcohol, drugs and so on. I know this because i am a child development major and of course, from my friends experience with this. Out of all my friends i refer to on any of my posts, i will always remember her the most because it was too late for her. Her life turned upside down so many times and she resorted to substance abuse and sexual misconducts. If there is anyone who was ever abused or is being abused, please tell someone you trust maybe a teacher or a relative or a cop. Just do it, life will seem bad at the time but it will be so much better that you have told someone. This is a very important issue and is overlooked in life. I am always here to talk! smile

In my country, you can never see a newspaper not reporting a child abuse. You can read father/ step-father/uncle/granfather/male cousin/neighbor sexually abusing a child. You may also see physical abuses of family members. This is sickening. This aweful. But what happens? How does this happen?

It is so hard to analyze but several patterns occur: substance abuse, violent environment, and poverty.

Those abusers are most often not under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. They are also the ones who grew up in a violent environment. And third, because of poverty. People who have nothing to do but stay at home, waiting for alms, are more likely to do violent and criminal acts. Fathers who are sexually abusing their children are mostly the ones without stable job or whose wives are out to work. This means that the fathers have time alone with their children. In my country, this is where sexual abuses happen--when the father is alone with his chilren.

However, I don't conclude that only the jobless, poor or uneducated people are capable of abusing their children. It is just more prevalent considering the situation.

The effect of abuse whether physical, mental or sexual has a long term effect.

In India, I heard that young children are now trained on how to "say no" to strangers and how to avoid child molestations and abuses. There's a group of children's rights advocates that makes this education among children and parents. They make a skit out of it and let the children participate' it's a kind of "reverse psychology." I think, it's a good model.

Child abuse is not acceptable in any ramification, therefore, its prohibited period.
