Whats your take on child abuse?

Question

What do you think is considered child abuse? Whats your opinions about people who abuse their children? What can come from a child being abused?

Answer 1

child abuse is when you infict harm and pain on your child in any way-emotionally, physically, or verbally-it affects children in the worse way imaginable because the abusers are people they are supposed to be able to love and trust and here they are hurting them. their whole lives revolve around the abuse and the are field with worry and anxiety at all times that they will set off their abusers.They literally spend their whole lives walking on eggshells-that is if they make it that far. Could you imagine how you would be if you got punched for not cleaning your room to your parents standards as a 5 year old- or being called retarded or stupid because you can't figure out you homework, by your mother? Abuse victims live with their abuse forever, and most will never fully recover from it. I know this by being a victim of verbal and emotional abuse, being married to a victim of all three and being a Child Welfare Worker. You probably see victims of abuse every day. That person screaming at their three year old to hurry in the store-shoving them and pushing them as they are crying-just imagine if they do this in front of so many people, what will they do behind closed doors?Abusers are impatient people who have idealistic views of how a child should be. When a child doesn't live up to these expectations, a parent becomes annoyed and "pushes" them to get better- Or sometimes they just really don't care if they've hurt their children. I've seen paretns tie their 4 yr olds up, and cut off their tongues because they talk to much, or a mother live her 7 month old behind her couch for 12 hours a day for 3 weeks, feeding him once and changing his diaper when she felt like it because she just didn't care.Child abuse is no joke-and the abusers should be punished accordingly. People tend to look the other way in a buse situations-even the most horrible ones-the women who would leave her baby behind the couch-got 5 months probabtion. I believe she should have at least gotten 10 years-by the way she just had her 3rd child

Answer 2

Um, child abuse is excessive force or language used against a child. A small pop on the hand or behind is not abuse. But should still not need to be used all the time. Once or twice in a life time (literally) is enough to get the message across. And may never be used at all. I for one was spanked an un-necessary amount of times when i was little. I do not feel i was abused. But i will tell you one thing. I will never do again the things I was spanked for. But i think a stern talking to would have got the message across just as well. People who abuse their children are cowards or ignorant. If they think that is the best way to teach a child a lesson they shouldn't have children. If you abuse a child you can and probably will cause emotional and mental damage that may never heal. Or will take years of expensive therapy to resolve.

Answer 3

Child abuse is when the caregiver or parent of the child is not providing the minimal sufficient level of care for the child. Some people have different views on what is the minimal sufficient level of care, but we all know what child abuse is in general. I work in social work and before I began doing this I had a very negative opinion about people who abuse their children. But, now I know that most people who abuse their children were also abused as children. They don't know any better, and if they do know better, they usually just can't seem to control themselves. They need help. Most of them with help can become good parents. The effects of child abuse are everlasting. They never go away. But, with time, and often with therapy, the effects will diminish. Dealing with it is the first step. Many people never deal with it, resulting in it being in their mind all the time.

Answer 4

Child Abuse is a violation of the trust a child has in his/her caretakers. To create any fear of the caretaker is abuse, because the child is then stuck in the horrific situation of depending upon someone who scares them. I say yelling and swatting are abuse, but, on a continuum, they are not as abusive as screaming mean names and slapping the face or leaving welts.

Child abusers are people who were abused as children. Some, like those who yell and then apologize, are facing the trauma they experienced and trying to do better. Some, who yell and hit and justify it, are in denial about how much their parents hurts them and so now enjoy the role of the abuser to make up for being in the role of the abused. Other abusers are people who take out their frustrations on the littler ones around them.

Jesus said people who cause a child distress should be thrown into the sea with a millstone around their neck. Why? Because what comes from a child being abused is depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, including sociopathy, learning disabilities, low self-esteem, broken families - and then a passing on of this misery to the next generation.

I think it also makes it easier for people to tolerate the use of military force by their governments.

Answer 5

im 15 and i know what child is because i been through it 5 times it's whereyou touch or do something to that child and that child don't like it than it's consider as a child abuse

Answer 6

Teaching them that they're being watched always is youngster abuse (do you rather suppose any one sane could wish to reside in a global like _1984_?). Teaching them that they will be tortured for all eternity if they do not pass via a needless ritual is youngster abuse. Withholding skills of the truly international from kids given that of devout ideals is youngster abuse. All kids have the correct to be trained the details as we all know them nice and as a result the correct to be trained that there aren't any well arguments for the life of a god nor any proof of any such being. Teaching kids whatever that is improper as although it have been correct is youngster abuse and faith is WRONG. Very devout mothers and fathers additionally have a tendency to be much more likely to smack their kids as good (that is youngster abuse, regardless of what the clueless idiots would possibly say).

Answer 7

I think child abuse is foul, the perpetrators should be given maximum sentences. Only pain and heartache can come from a child being abused.

Answer 8

I can't believe people hurt their children. There was a man in my town that abused his 4 month baby because she wouldn't stop crying. He hit her and slammed her head on floor. His wife was in the shower at the time. They took her to the hospital. He now sitting in jail. I think they should have to register just like sex offenders. Saying that their an abuser. That way people know it.

Answer 9

I think that people who abuse children should be sent to a "special place" . Abuse is disgusting and should not be tolerated. Children are a gift and they should be treated with love and respect.

Answer 10

i think just hitting for no reason is abuse,threating without reason is abuse.if one abuses thier child they must have unknown issues or they have anger problems. i think they should be able to talk of thier issuses with out being looked down upon.My mom was abused. She somtimes snaps and hits. ithink that since it is all she knew thats what she know to do.
