why do innocent children are being abused ?

Answer 1

because people close their eyes, turn the other way and ignore behaviour that could have been prevented in the first place.

Answer 2

Child abuse is a cycle. An overwhelming majority of abusers were abused themselves. Prisons are overflowing with the results of child abuse and neglect. Sadly, most abusing parents "love" their children. They hated being abused as children, and on some level, most of them hate themselves for doing what they swore they never would. But without help, change is very, very hard.
Unfortunatly, even in today's child-oriented society, children are basically property. Parents have a right to parent in the way that they see fit, until something dreadful happens. And the offending parents will always deny the abuse. They will look a caseworker, a policeman, a doctor, even a judge right in the face and lie. And
the system is charged with helping the family stay together. The child's best interests are second to the interests of the family.
If you are achild who is being abused in any way- physically, sexually, emotionally, through neglect- please speak with someone. Tell the whole, unvarnished truth to an adult that you trust. And if your abuser is in your home, you might be removed. It will be scary, because even though your parents hurt you, they are your family. But be vocal about your fears, and share with your caseworker and the judge what you need and want. If you are afraid of home, let them know that you don't wnat to go back. There are a lot of wonderful people who want to help you. The abuser will have to go through a series of changes, set by your caseworker and the court, before you are reunited with them. If you are in the U.S., ask to have a CASA assigned to your case. (Court Appointed Special Advocate) This is a person who works with all of the involved agencies to make sure that your interests are faught for.
And for God's sake, if you are a parent, don't slap your children in the face. It is the ultimate humiliation, and children have been removed from homes for it. Think before you act. You are training the parents of tomorrow.

Answer 3

The reasons are many.

Sometimes the children are not so innocent and in a fit of rage an adult decides to "teach them a lesson", but only teaches how to behave when really enraged.

Sometimes the children are innocent and the adults are simply doing what adults do when moved by their undisciplined and unbridled emotions do--they hurt people.

Sometimes children are perceived as being abused because adults get into some idealistic zone that differs from the behavioral ideals of half-a-century before. The conflict is between those who see children as purely happy creatures to be indulged and coddled at all costs vs. those savagely anachronistic adults who want to bark at wrong-doing when not "beating" them for wrong-doing. On the otherside, to be fair, children have not learned the niceities of civilized behavior and when reason doesn't work authority does and when authority doesn't work, a slap on the hands, the bottom, or to the offending face shocks the little savages into a mode of restraint, lest they get more. So, as long as swatting their little bottoms as correction are not distinguishable from "beating innocent children" there will be perceptions of abuse that may or may not be there.

Let me suggest you check with the courts and caseworkers. I know some in those areas and while it is not politically correct, for every disciplinarian parent that has their children taken away, there are several diservedly taken away because it is the parent that is not disciplined, not deliberate in meting out punishment but truly beating a child.

I spanked my son outside a store one day. An onlooking mother threatened to report me (I told her to go ahead). This is the same woman that annoyed the whole store earlier by yelling vile things to her unruly children, but without restraint. My son was just emulating the behavior of her kids. My son stopped. Hers did not. Which parent was abusive?

Answer 4

Innocence is what attracts pedophiles. The very fact that children are innocent is what makes them vulnerable to all sorts of predators. The only thing we can do is deal harshly with abusers that are caught and make preying on children more difficult. If you are a Christian take comfort in the fact that the Lord will deal with those that harm the innocent.

Answer 5

Children are among the most defenseless things in the World... (besides puppies and other little critters).

Parents are having a bad day, and need to "vent", so they think they can take it out on the wife and kids, and will be forgiven... (sometimes it leads to death, and that can only be forgiven by the LORD).

Or, you get pediphiles,(never could spell that word right), who prey on children and should be locked up for life, so that the children will be safe from thier clutches!

Or, you get other kids, who are mean and critical and because they have been abused, think that they can bully other children and make them as misearable as they are, and that its "right" because its the only way that "they know" as they live in abusive homes...

There are so many reasons that innocent children are abused that it can not be covered in such a small space, but suffice it to say, when they are abused, the LORD knows it, and HE says:
Mt 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

And believe me, the Faith of a Child is to be reckoned with!!

I wish you well..

Answer 6

Because, the people that hurt them are sick in the head, they are cowards and wimps. Maybe they feel like they have power when they can control children because children are sweet, Innocent, and powerless, I wish that there were no one abuse children out there because children are innocent and don't deserve nothing bad to happen to them. I don't know why God would allow evil things to happen to children.

Answer 7

Because there is sick people out there that shouldn't have anything to do with children at all. It is sad to think about that children get abused, beaten and treated mean. People who does this should be put away for good. I get sick of thinking of them..

Answer 8

Nobody should be abused, talk to someone you trust.
Get help if it is serious. If you just need to deal, try a support group. Ask someone in the school office, If that doesnt work try a church that you are attracted to.

Answer 9

Because the evil in this world pray on the weak young and sick.

Answer 10

i dont think anyone in their right mind could do something like that. they must have serious mental health problems, although that doesnt make it any easier to understand why
