Why do some parents...?

Question

Why do some parents child abuse there kids.

Felix you a d*ck i hate people on here that think there smarter or better then others go f*ck yourself

Answer 1

I dont know hun. It pisses me off though. Its been said that alot of parents that abuse their kids have been abused by thier parents and thats the only way they know how to raise a child. Its disgusting to have to see a child go through that and if you have seen it and know for a fact that they are abusing this child then you need to report them. No child should have to suffer like that. Its inhumane. And also I have a child and he is the most precious peice of my life and I could never imagine laying a mean hand on him. It would be in the childs best interest if you were to report the child abuse. That baby didnt ask to be brought into this world it was the parents decision and if they didnt want the baby they should have givin the baby up for adoption.

Answer 2

Well many factors lead to abuse. Someone already mentioned the fact that the abuse can be generational. Which simply means the parents were abused and figured they made it through life just fine so why does it matter if they raise their children the same way they were raised. Another factor is just being overwhelmed expecially when you discuss abuse of a toddler or baby, the parent just simply cant handle the stress. Also flustration over how a child behaves can lead the parent to abusing the child instead of discipling the child. Some parents do not see the fine line between abuse and discipline and often cross this line. However, no matter how many explanations there are for why a parent does this to a child, none of them are valid reasons to ever abuse a child in any manner. Parents have other options, call a sitter and leave the child for a while till you catch your breath or cool down. Send the child to his or her room till you feel like dealing with it. Maybe all of our answers combined help you understand some of the reasons why people do this, but dont worry if you dont understand why people do this, most of us dont either.

Depends on what sort of abuse you mean. I'm a foster care social worker,so I've seen it all.

There are many forms of abuse and neglect. Some parents get high and beat their kids......some parents put their careers in front of their children and withold love if the child is not perfect.

Substance abuse is a HUGE factor in physical and sexual abuse. Some parents may not abuse the kids themselves, but will sell them for drugs. It also leads to neglect.

There are generational family issues that lead to it. An abused child is very likely to grow up and be an abuser.

People who are just too young and or immature (you can be 16 and be too young to be a parent, but more mature than some 30 year olds...likewise you can be 30 and be old enough to be a parent, but be really immature) to be parents and don't know how to handle it properly.

Frustration is the leading cause of shaken baby syndrome.

That said.....There are thousands of children in the foster care system who have been victims of abuse and neglect who need temporary home while their families get help, or forever families to adopt them if the parents can't. Anyone out there who thinks they can help...PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FOSTER CARE AGENCY. A child really is waiting...do you have room under your Christmas tree for one more kid?

Answer 4

because some people should never be allowed to have children in the first place!!i never understood how a parent could look into the eyes of a little child and think its ok to abuse them.i feel like if youre that sick then you should give your kids away and then get yourself fixed so you dont have anymore!!

Answer 5

They have problems. Some where abused or neglected themselves as a child. Some don't care or resent their children. Some are just like that. That's why we should report abuse the minute we see it--who is looking out for the child if we don't?

Answer 6

Good question! My mom abused me emotionally and some physically. She didn't do that to my younger siblings though... so why me? I always did everything I could to obey her and not be a bad daughter.

Only thing I got from it is to not be this way with my children... I've succeeded so far! I want a bond with my children unlike the one me and my mom have. I get quite depressed about this a lot, hoping for that one day everything will change and my mom and I will have a great relationship.

Answer 7

Because they need to be in an insane asylum . Children are apparently not the real problem if they can't handle themselves and keep having kids. Even if a child does something wrong you have to help them understand why. If you can't handle that you dont need children because that just breeds hate. We Are already at war with that.

Answer 8

because they have a lot of anger in them i would say n children do push u sometimes 2 the limits. But its no excuse I could never do it myself I love my kids I could never hurt them. But some parents do not desirve there children. I have a lot of hate for those parents who abuse children they need a taster themselves a good smacking if u ask me.

Answer 9

Because they weren't ready to take on the responsiblity for having kids but just couldn't keep their legs closed to prevent the unwanted birth. So, they abuse the kids for their own personal mistake.

Answer 10

You mean why do some parents abuse their children, I presume? OK, now go do your homework, and get ready to see me later!! I guess some parents just think it is fun, and that it will make their kids strong, other parents, well, I just do not know
